While I was working on qbase64[1], I stumbled over a peculiar problem: I wanted it to work as fast as possible when optimized array types (SIMPLE-ARRAY, SIMLPE-BASE-STRING, etc.) were passed to the encoding/decoding routines, but I also wanted to support the more general types.

I have written two libraries to try and deal with this problem:

There are other related projects as well:
