in the symbol-syntax if you need these features. Right now it only does
(.method ...) syntax, but sometime today or tomorrow I'll have
(foo.bar.baz) expanding to ((slot-value foo 'bar) 'baz). I'm not sure
whether it is worthwhile keeping foo[bar] syntax; (aref foo bar) is not
particularly less convenient.
If upstream will not accept the changes this will be maintained as part
of UCW again (probably renamed to avoid conflicts; since ps no longer
uses the js package we'll move back there). I'll try to keep up with
merges from upstream and whatnot as well.
