It would seem so if I'm reading the macrolet define-closer-common-lisp-package correctly:

Since the example is supposed to be expository rather than a a professional code snippet I see no problem with your suggestion. An expert would factor that in, I would think, and people like me wouldn't know the difference.

There's a problem with this patch that highlights a problem with the example.
The problem is that the package |:closer-common-lisp| is a new package that exports all the external symbols in |:closer-mop| (a portability layer for the meta object protocol) /and/ all the external symbols of |:common-lisp|. So adding |:cl| to the |:use| list in this example does nothing.
I /think/ a better fix for this example would be to replace | (:use :closer-common-lisp)| with |(:use :cl :closer-mop)| everywhere.

Hi Robert, I decided against modifying the UIOP doc because although the existing wording is quite concise it is also correct, AFAICT. Any edits I could conceive would alter the style and as a maker of many words myself I am loathe to do that.
I'm also open to any style nitpicks in this tiny patch. I'm not interested in being different from existing code conventions, etc.

For instance have a look at the code snippets from the ASDF.pdf manual on page 26. There are two there, and neither has a use :cl or :common-lisp or whatever. To fix this is trivial. Add in a :use :cl in those code snippets, and perhaps add "be sure to add :use :cl if you :use any other systems" in the docs for uiop:define-package. | Are you frustrated enough to locate and fix all the misleading documentation? I admit I'm fully responsible for getting it wrong, but I have ceased being active in Common Lisp or as an ASDF developer long ago. (These days: Gerbil Scheme, and... some Haskell recently.)
