if I were to change that to an accessor, I'd first grep for all uses of both to see whether there is something indicating that this is a deliberate choice

Especially since I first tried to implement Laurikari's idea. But that just cannot work.

Ok. As I said it's a draft-draft. Depression took its toll and so I never had the energy to go and publish it. A shame.

beach: I perhaps won't make it by next ELS. And yes, we can say it's Lisp related because the primary implementation is in Lisp. Though, strictly speaking, that algorithm is of general use and not tied to Lisp.

Anyhow, formal publication is my least priority these days. I'd rather need to get the implementation out the door. I could also imagine making it an article and just putting it onto my (which one actually?) website. idk. After all, although some reputation is nice, I have no practical use for it.

contrapunctus: Yes. We have increased the level of ambition for SICL so that we should be able to rely on separate libraries, not particularly written for SICL. So then, it becomes natural and desirable to turn former SICL modules into independent libraries.

We have done the reader, the printer, the pretty printer, LOOP, FORMAT, streams, and perhaps some I forgot. The package system is next.

gilberth: ELS is a good forum for getting things out there. Plus, you could go meet some old friends.

beach: That would imply that I travel. I am not yet fit to actually travel anywhere.

beach: ah, I see...I hope this one will support mutually-dependent (?) PLNs... (i.e. package A has a PLN for B and package B has a PLN for A)

When I tried it with SBCL, I was told that package B didn't exist (it was defined after A). I resorted to using `trivial-package-local-nicknames:add-package-local-nickname` after the definition of B.
