Hi

I'd like to host a tiny, yet cute project on COMMON-LISP.NET

The idea of the DEFINER project is to provide a generalized DEF macro that will allow you to define anything within a CL implementation with a simplified, yet user programmable, syntax. E.g.

(defun foo (x) ...)

becomes

(def function foo (x) ...)

and

(defstruct bar a s d)

becomes

(def structure bar a s d)

etc etc.

The idea is to allow people who want to define new things to do something like

(def uffi:c-string-pointer ....)

The license of the system will be BSD like. You can have a peek at the code at http://bioinformatics.nyu.edu/~marcoxa/common-lisp/code

regards
