Re: [alexandria-devel] symbolicate

FWIW, I think FORMAT-SYMBOL is almost always preferable, but I admit SYMBOLICATE is a classic of sorts.

for the record, cffi is full of these: (symbolicate '#:foo- name '#:-bar) which looks like this using format-symbol: (format-symbol t "~A-~A-~A" '#:foo name '#:bar) which is much more verbose for this kind of task. so, i think they both have their own places where they are are useful. -- attila
