Very nice :) Btw, I would use different specifiers for char and varchar: (char n) => char(n) (string n) => varchar(n) To me, STRING is closer to variable-length entities than to fixed-length entities. Especially if you compare char[n] and string in C or Pascal :) -- Ivan Boldyrev Violets are red, Roses are blue. // I'm schizophrenic, And so am I.

That was also my first idea, but there are two objections: Firstly, Lisp values of type (string n) have to have *exactly* n characters, and are thus more like char(n) than varchar(n). Secondly, char is an exported symbol in the package :common-lisp, and thus not a very good candidate for use in a library (you aren't allowed to define a type by that name without first shadowing the symbol).
