Hopefully no one will feel too affronted if I ask you to "please apply" my patch :-) I think these features are quite useful for certain types of macros. For example if they were reliably implemented in most CL implementations then iterate could support defmacro forms inside of iterate loops. For another example: arnesi's cps evaluator uses a bunch of reader conditionals to determine if free variables are lexically bound or special. If this interface were available it could just use variable-information. So I'd really like to see this feature in SBCL. I'll be happy to correct any deficiencies anyone identifies in my patch. Thanks! --larry |
