Hello, I must apologise for my absence. Since school started I have not done any CL programming.

beach: Incless is just as incomplete as it was in August, but it should load without issue now if you want to test it.

If I find time, I'll continue my work on it to add what is still missing, but if anyone else feels like it, please tell me and I'll merge anything you implement.

lonjil: I hope school is going well. I am almost at the stage where I should load it. There were some things in SICL bootstrapping that were not working and that I had to fix first, so it will take me another few days before I get back to trying it.

beach: it has been going so-so. Studying from home has not been good for me, classrooms provide such good structure. For SICL I'm guessing that the main things you need are list and symbol printing? Lists are done, but if so I'll get symbols fully working before I start on the other unfinished stuff.

Alright. I wont worry too much about it. Shouldn't be too hard anyway, right now it is just (write-string (symbol-name symbol)), so the main thing missing is package handling. I believe the main reason I didn't add that originally was because we hadn't figured out how Incless should access the environment, in this case special vars like *package*.

Currently, you have only the "extrinsic" version of Incless, i.e. it was designed to work in an implementation that already has a printer, and without clobbering that printer.
