Using Common Lisp doesn't sound like an advantage to me. Emacs Lisp has lots of stuff that make writing indentation code easy: regexps,
How do you write a regexp to match the following sexp?
Anything that can do that would be much better than what emacs is now.
What are you trying to say? You can't describe a sexp with a regular grammar because sexps can be nested. You need a context free grammar or so.
Indeed.
If you want to parse a sexp use parse-partial-sexp.
But imagine being able to type: M-x replace-lalr RET (slot-value *\([:sexp:]\) *'\([:sexp:]\)) RET (\2 \1) RET Moreover, parse-partial-sexp is an emacs built-in that does not know the syntax of Common-Lisp, much less that of other languages. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Voting Democrat or Republican is like choosing a cabin in the Titanic.
