If you update the impnotes to refer to ext:space everywhere, even beginners will have no problem with it. Just like they are used to (ext:quit). Bruno |

Like you did with ext:quit. so you want us to have two symbols with the same name. > If you update the impnotes to refer to ext:space everywhere, even this has been the case since the DocBook/XML conversion: all non-CL symbols are always prefixed with the package. > beginners will have no problem with it.

So what do we do with SPACE & GENERIC-FUNCTION? Kill GENERIC-FUNCTION and rename SPACE to SPACE-TIME (or TIME-SPACE or TIMES)? -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running RedHat8 GNU/Linux <http://www.camera.org> <http://www.iris.org.il> <http://www.memri.org/> <http://www.mideasttruth.com/> <http://www.palestine-central.com/links.html> The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. |
