Well, yes if I also define an :after method on writer which clears the background and repaint.

In my opinion, it makes sense, as long as it's possible to set it and the behaviour is reasonable (i.e. it performs the repaint, etc)

jackdaniel: That's actually a pretty good hypothesis. Funny how a word can affect your thinking like that.

Speaking of interesting code. This is code I've been working on lately. I'm trying to improve the equation solver in Maxima. The comment on top of this function says a lot:

Yes. I have bitten that bullet. :-) In fact, I had bitten the bullet before even reading the commend, and as I was reading I was like... “riiight... So it isn't just me”

GENVARS is a special variable that holds a list of the underlying variables/expressions that is represented by the gensyms in the EXP list.

It's pretty insane. EXP is meaningless without the content in VARLIST to go along with it, so why do they even bother passing it along as an argument. it could all be speical variables :-)

Anyway, I could rant about that stuff for a while. I'm pretty sure that code was originally written in the 60's.

loke: Would you like to collaborate on developing Second Climacs, or did you have something entirely different in mind?

I may have gone overboard in my attempt to make Second Climacs independent of the underlying GUI library. I am not pleased with that pat of it at all.

My main work has been with parsing Common Lisp code in the buffer, because that's what I think will make Second Climacs unique.
