The proposal doesn't say anything how the argument to the :test keyword is dealt with. Judging from the examples, the argument is supposed to be evaluated.
Thanks, that's a real hole.
I think your effort is misdirected. Why bother obfuscating CL:CASE?
I don't direct any serious effort into the implementation details. Amending CL:CASE is just a suggestion.
Make it a new operator. For example, in (*) I suggested to name such an operator SWITCH, and also proposed another operator called SELECT which behaves similiarly, but also evaluates each clause keys.
Why do you think this is necessary?
I think providing the necessary changes to the Alexandria project would be more fruitful.
The CDR doesn't make any statements on how its documents should be used, and although there has been some discussion, there's no consensus. I intend to use the CDR exactly as what it is; a document repository for Common Lisp amendments and changes. Leslie
