i spend so much time on this damn shuffle that i was very surprised when i turned out that merge works correctly with first attempt

anyway, I have two new concerns: I think 8-bit and indeed 16-bit subtypes of string are indeed important, since a huge fraction of all text is within the Latin-1 repertoire and almost all of it is in the Plane 0 repertoire

second, I find the idea of 27-bit single-floats on 32-bit platforms to be a bad one, for two reasons: (a) rounding from a 32-bit computed result to a 27-bit stored one will have to be performed carefully and without hardware assist;

(b) I think it will be very surprising that arithmetic on arguments obtained from specialized float32 arrays (which are mentioned in th array chapter) will be done only to 27-bit precision.

beach, scymtym: on #slime, there's some talk about using eclector as a backend for some slime features

At this point, I'm wondering if it makes sense to grab user-defined reader macros from cl:*readtable* into the Eclector readtable to be able to play with code that uses such reader macros or if there's a better strategy. (E.g., do it the other way around and inject bits of Eclector into cl:*readtable*)

Also, is there a code walker that takes CSTs as input? It doesn't seem too hard to adapt an existing code walker to use CSTs, but I guess I'm fishing for code walker recommendations as well.
