I have a few questions:
Sat Feb 23 22:01:55 WET 2008 attila.lendvai@gmail.com * fix: lookup-mapping of already looked up concrete-encoding instances
I'm curious about your use case for (lookup-mapping ht <some-mapping-instead-of-an-encoding>). I would we want that to work?
Sat Feb 23 22:06:59 WET 2008 attila.lendvai@gmail.com * Added declaims to make it possible to locally inline string-to-octets and friends upon explicit request
Somewhere in your code (cl-rdbms maybe?) I saw you used the mappings directly. Is this related to that? What's the gain? (In either case: funcalling the mappings directly or inlining string-to-octets.)
Sat Feb 23 22:48:45 WET 2008 attila.lendvai@gmail.com * Added an exported lookup-string-vector-mapping for special uses of the encoders directly
This one is related to the previous question, I suppose. I'm curious about why you want to call the encoders directly. ISTR having some ideas about more features for string-to-octets and friends, so I might imagine some uses for calling the encoders directly if I could remember what those ideas were.
hint: you may consider adding Stelian and me to the babel group, so that the open source fairies could set up an official babel repo... ;) or even a minimalistic site if you don't find that offending.
I've sent a request to add you both to the group. Also, I moved my babel tree into the project's public_html. I usually screw the permitions up, so let me know if anything's wrong.
I set up a minimalistic site. Feel free to improve it.
