Subject: Re: ACL 6.0 Trial Edition ships with non ANSI reader behavior.

It seems that the reader preseves the | case for test and TEST while upcasing defun. Try (symbol-name 'defun) and see the light. | That sure encourages the use of mixed case symbol names. And soon | we will have to deal with mixed case CL codes. I don't like that. Do you feel encouraged to use mixed-case symbols? Do you know anybody who are? Or did you think you were playing in Scary Movie and had to make a stab at a charicature of something fearful? Arguments from fear of what stupid people might do if not controlled and punished is not the Lisp way. Learn to trust Lisp programmers. Expect something from them. (And shoot the buggers who think they are still in no-expectations-land.) #:Erik -- Does anyone remember where I parked Air Force One? -- George W. Bush
