thijso: You can potentially have multiple controllers running, but I'm not sure of the utility of it and it doesn't happen normally.

emacs packages are some kind of (CL) system. There's nothing like CL packages in emacs lisp. (there are obarray which are some low-level stuff that could be used to implement CL packages in emacs lisp, if there was hooks in the reader available).

My problem is more that I cannot find any documentation about a -*- Package: foo -*- file vaiable. Neither in the Emacs manuals nor in the Slime manual. I just simply have no idea where this variable comes from.

edgar-rft: slime checks for in-package forms to read and evaluate things in the right package. Without an in-package, I guess it will fall back to the package name bond to package.

pjb: That's how Common Lisp handles packages, what has nothing to do at all with file local Emacs variables.

pjb, edgar-rft: Emacs *should* downcase all file-local variables but stupidly does it only for those variables where someone complained.

pjb, edgar-rft: Another wheel to re-invent, [rolls eyes] but it beats editing thousands of files starting with -*- base: 10; package: foo; readtable: CL -*-

when using the access library, can I tell it to do NTHCAR? (access:accesses ...) gives me a list, but with 0 as additional path specifier I only get NIL.

is coercing adjustable array of characters to simple-string guaranteed to work on a standard CL implementation?
