FWIW, I think FORMAT-SYMBOL is almost always preferable, but I admit
(symbolicate '#:foo- name '#:-bar)
which looks like this using format-symbol:
(format-symbol t "~A-~A-~A" '#:foo name '#:bar)
...I did say "almost' :)
But what's wrong with
(format-symbol t "FOO-~A-BAR" name)
? If you use symbolicate you still the the case in effect at the time CFFI was compiled, so "case concerns" are not convincing.
which is much more verbose for this kind of task. so, i think they both have their own places where they are are useful.
...I do agree, SYMBOLICATE does have it's place.
