The additional FORMAT instruction ~! is similar to ~/, but avoids putting a function name into a string, thus, you might not need to specify the package explicitly.

(FORMAT stream "~arguments!" function object)

is equivalent to

(FUNCALL function stream object colon-modifier-p atsign-modifier-p arguments)

That's nice. Thanks for the pointer. -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated. Scientific site: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier Music (Jazz) site: http://www.didierverna.com
