I see that in some of my code I was relying on hunchentoot::make- keyword, which has now gone away.
Hey, it wasn't exported, so you knew what to expect... :)
But there is as-keyword and there is chunga::make-keyword. And there's, of course, alexandria:make-keyword, if I want to use that. It's a trivial function, but would it make sense to take things like with-unique-names, make-keyword, etc... and put it in some sort of ediware-utilities package?
It's a trivial issue in this case, but I figured I'd bring it up for handy and less-trivial things like with-rebinding, etc...
This is on my long list of things to do, but it has a fairly low priority. I will probably switch some of my libs to Alexandria at some point, but certainly not before the "Initial release [...] is yet to happen" line has vanished from their website.
AS-KEYWORD in Chunga/Hunchentoot/Drakma is a special case, though, as it includes special treatment for a few fixed values that'll be the arguments to this function in 99.9% of all cases.
