uiop parse-native-namestring portability?

7 Jan 2016

      Hi,

Should I be able to expect the following to behave consistently across Lisps?

   (file-namestring (uiop:parse-native-namestring "."))

I find that:

  - CCL and SBCL produce "."
  - Allegro produces NIL
  - CMUCL signals an error in LISP::UNPARSE-UNIX-FILE

If I just look at:

   (uiop:parse-native-namestring ".")

I get:

   Allegro:  #P"./"
   CCL:      #P"."
   SBCL:     #P"."
   CMUCL:    #P(:NAME "." :TYPE :UNSPECIFIC)

Cheers,
Jared
