Hi Robert,
I decided against modifying the UIOP doc because although
the existing wording is quite concise it is also correct,
AFAICT. Any edits I could conceive would alter the
style and as a maker of many words myself I am loathe
to do that.
I'm also open to any style nitpicks in this tiny patch.
I'm not interested in being different from existing
code conventions, etc.

|Finally I'll note that the only examples I've seen, and I
actually did suck down the repo for lisp-interface-library, *do
not show :use :cl*. For instance have a look at the code
snippets from the ASDF.pdf manual on page 26. There are two
there, and neither has a use :cl or :common-lisp or whatever. To
fix this is trivial. Add in a :use :cl in those code snippets,
and perhaps add "be sure to add :use :cl if you :use any other
systems" in the docs for uiop:define-package. |
Are you frustrated enough to locate and fix all the misleading
documentation? I admit I'm fully responsible for getting it
wrong, but I have ceased being active in Common Lisp or as an
ASDF developer long ago. (These days: Gerbil Scheme, and... some
Haskell recently.) The current maintainers and future
documentation readers will thank you.
git grep -i define-package should help you.
Regards,
