I can see no reason why | case sensitive symbols by default would not be superior. | ^ | | since you accuse people of not reading carefully, you yourself should have understood by now that _symbols_ in Common Lisp are case sensitive. the reader, on the other hand, is case-folding. you know this, right? #:Erik -- The Microsoft Dating Program -- where do you want to crash tonight?
