7:47:17 beach The system SICL-ENVIRONMENT is kind of the "high" part of Clostrum, and should perhaps be incorporated into Clostrum at some point. But I have been doing things the wrong way I think. I have been defining bootstrapping-specific versions of the standard environment functions like FIND-CLASS, FDEFINITION, etc. Now I think I should import the extrinsic Clostrum functions into the bootstrapping environments, and then just load the

7:47:17 beach intrinsic version of SICL-ENVIRONMENT. That way I think I don't even need an extrinsic version of SICL-ENVIRONMENT.

7:48:03 beach If it works out as planned, that will save another hundred or so lines of bootstrapping-specific code.

7:48:26 beach And it might be possible to do the same thing for the "high" part of Parcl.

7:49:51 beach This work was prompted by the need to make package-local nicknames work in Parcl, and the need to customize the DEFPACKAGE macro in Common Macros.

7:52:16 beach So to import Clostrum functions into the bootstrapping environments, I need to load a definition of the Clostrum package definition.

7:52:17 beach I am going to fake that for the time being by using a bootstrapping-specific definition, but it should perhaps be done as I suggested some time ago, by the separation of Clostrum into two systems, one for the package definition and another for the rest.

15:56:12 beach I think I have package-local nicknames working, both in Parcl and in (the boostrapping-specific version of) FIND-PACKAGE. Tomorrow, I'll start replacing the bootstrapping-specific versions of the environment functions with ordinary SICL versions.
