Is there a slick way to hook into emacs, to create the "(defpackage <path-as-package> (:use :cl)) (in-package <package-name>)" automatically when creating a new lisp file in my system?

quick question - is there any recommendation in regards to the library to work with date/time ?

borei: depends on you requirements, for simple things Common Lisp has built-in stuff, but if you need astronomical precision over hundreds of years things start to become hairy, see http://naggum.no/lugm-time.html

borei: Common Lisp has GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME giving times in INTERNAL-TIME-UNITS-PER-SECOND resolution, maybe that's sufficient for your needs?

what's the name if I create a dialect of Lisp to specifically solve some business problem in terse form?

I've got a function calling CL-PPCRE:SCAN with the RE coming from an argument; the function is declared INLINE, but I still have CL-PPCRE:CREATE-SCANNER calls in a profile dump.

I'd have expected that when the function gets inlined the (constant) string argument could be compiled by CL-PPCRE during compilation, not during runtime?!
