Hi,
I wondered why :named-register only allows to use strings as name.
I'd like to use a symbol, or, for macro-generated forms, gensyms, because that would be
easier for macro-generated forms to associate with the resulting capture index.
Sadly symbols don't work currently because of COPY-SEQ in
METHOD CONVERT-COMPOUND-PARSE-TREE ((EQL :NAMED-REGISTER) T)
Even more, the COPY-SEQ destroys EQuality, so I cannot give some string and look for it
later on.
What's the reason for the string-requirement? Could we allow symbols, too?
Thanks for all answers.
Regards,
Phil
