I'm thinking about writing up a CDR on #;-style comments.
But it's not unproductive. Now we know that it should be specified as equivalent to #-(and), that assuming it's CDR-10, that it can be used as: #+cdr-10 #; #-cdr-10 #-(and) "commented out sexp" oops, that'll break :-( Ok, just joking, it would be used as: #-cdr-10 (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute) (error "please load CDR-10 before this source")) #;"commented out sexp" We've consider the cost to implementors (close to nul), but the cost to users (ie. programmers writing conforming code) is higher. Instead of the above I think I'll keep writing: #-(and) "commented out sexp" -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ A bad day in () is better than a good day in {}.
