PS: You originally started the fuss that led to asdf-encodings. What do you think of the result?
Did I? It wasn't me I think.
You most definitely did with your message from 2011-01-29, even though things didn't go into motion until a year afterwards, at the prompt of Oriveg Desh's 2012-03-20 message.
Anyway, I've just read the chapter 10.2 "Controlling source file character encoding" in the ASDF manual. It looks right to me: encodings other than :utf-8 or default are in separate extension, extension hooks are provided.
I support making :utf-8 the default for .asd and lisp files.
Thanks. I'm glad you approve.
One thing is not clear from that chapter: is it possible to specify encoding in defsystem and have subcomponents inherit it.
Yes it is. I fixed the first paragraph to specify this behaviour.
Thanks for your feedback!
