Hello all,
What are the odds of adding this[1] implementation of SUBDIVIDE to alexandria?
I understand that alexandria only accepts public domain code, but I think that Robert Smith also follows this mailist so maybe he would let the code be added to alexandria.
SUBDIVIDE is a function that divides a sequence into parts with a certain size, and returns a list with those parts.
Best Regards, Rolando Pereira

I am perfectly okay with adding this as public domain!
I can already hear the complaints about using tail recursion.
Cheers,
Robert
P.S. Anything that is in QTILITY can go in Alexandria as public domain.

There is no problem with tail-recursion in such a small domain.
The problem is when tail-recursion is used to implement a decentralized event loop, relying on proper tail calls to not run out of stack; then this needs to be document, and care taken to ensure the implementation supports proper tail calls and is not de-optimizing them away. Things would be easier if there were a library (that ptc.asd purported to be but failed) that actually helped ensure that either proper tail calls are supported or an error is thrown at compile-time.
I have an issue with lack of a clear process to get something into Alexandria. I'd like there be a guaranteed way (as much as there are in the open source world) to get a patch either accepted or rejected within a few days, a week at most, with two people on call for review at all time.
And/or I want another library in which utilities can be speedily updated.

Speed of evolution is an explicit non-goal for Alexandria. Also, please don't hijack threads.

Hello,
I finally conjured up a patch for SUBDIVIDE. Feel free to edit it. I wasn't sure if using CHECK-TYPE was preferred style. Anyway, have fun.
The patch also exports the symbol SUBDIVIDE and also includes a battery of tests.
Cheers,
Robert Smith

SUBDIVIDE looks good. A patch containg it, a test-case or few, and adding it to the documentation would be a quick merge.
