[mcclim-devel] [PATCH] Drei: adding some PRINT-OBJECTs for lambda-list related objects.
Hi all, You'll find a small patch attached which adds some PRINT-OBJECTs for more descriptive results at the REPL; for example objects representing lambda-lists will be printed like #<ORDINARY-LAMBDA-LIST (R1 R2 R3 &OPTIONAL O1 O2 &KEY K1 ...) {ACC8261}> instead of #<ORDINARY-LAMBDA-LIST {ACC8261}> I'm thinking of splitting out, and extending the lambda-list stuff into a standalone library. Now I wonder why all the lambda-list relevant classes only define reader methods for their slots. Is there some intentional purpose behind this functional design, or is it just this way because of KISS and YAGNI? -T.

Thank you, committed.

I like immutable data structures for this kind of stuff. The lambda list frobbing interface is loosely based on CL pathnames. -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen

How can you currently rename a parameter in a lambda-list? -T.

You probably can't, because I haven't had the need to do that yet. -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen
