[Sbcl-devel] DEFPACKAGE's "also exports" queerness

[Tobias C R. <tc...@fr...>]

I've raised the point pretty much on each time I've been bitten
by it because it's plain annoying. So far only on chat as far
as I remember. Funnily, I can never remember what answers I
got. I don't think an definitive answer ever came up anyway.

Could we, please, make the 

  "FOO also exports the following symbols:"

not be a full warning but merely a style-warning?

It's just annoying that ASDF refuses to go on after
that warning. Which, for example, renders :FORCE T totally
useless for any system that has SB-POSIX, or SB-BSD-SOCKETS
in the leaves of its dependency tree.

I can agree with that the issue is noteworthy, but I
find it hard to see that it justifies causing COMPILE-FILE
to return T as FAILUREP.
