> Comment By: Bruno Haible (haible) There is no need to add complexities to CLISP to implement the paradigms of the 1980ies, that are just not valid any more in today's world. I would like to point out that some of those paradigms of the 1980s are still in heavy use today, like smtp (probably 70's, maybe even 60s?) and http (might be the 90s) which specify that lines are to be terminated by CRLF, not CR, not LF, not newline. If I could read the bytes 0-255 as 255 different characters I would do so in my http/smtp servers. |
