Hello,
I often try to support Allegro's modern mode by doing things like (format-symbol t "~A-~A" :foo :bar).
We just came across an issue on #quicklisp where a user had set his *PRINT-CASE* to :DOWNCASE and that caused FORMAT-SYMBOL to intern lower-case symbols, thus breaking the idiom I described.
Should fix my code to use SYMBOLICATE instead or should FORMAT-SYMBOL use WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX?
Any opinions?
