#396: Implement package shortcut syntax to reader -------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: mevenson | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 1.4.0 Component: interpreter | Version: 1.4.0-dev Keywords: | Parent Tickets: -------------------------+---------------------------- Zach pointed out <http://lispblog.xach.com/post/126287122718/syntax-for- reading-a-form-in-a-package>
{{{ Allegro, GCL, SBCL, and possibly other implementations support a syntax that looks like this:
foo::(bar 'baz 42)
A form like that is read as though you had written (foo::bar 'foo::baz 42). I use this syntax sometimes for Quicklisp operations that rely on ql- dist symbols, like installing all available Quicklisp projects: }}}
It would be nice to add this to the Bear.
