Nobody in the list community ever invented a fancy pants term like “dependency
injection”
because it’s so obvious how to do this that nobody thought to give it a name.

Nice work. It's worth the extra length in order to buy correctness and
portability
that you yourself don't have to maintain.
Lisp is the simplest language to bootstrap for sure. Would be nice to get

I think we did OK in CLIM: an API package, and an internal package to implement
in.

Agreed. Isn't it the case that {package x string} -> symbol is

The specializers are probably interned for the sake of allowing
better optimization of EQL dispatch. I don't think it'll grow without
bounds; it probably gets big enough to hold all of the methods with
EQL dispatch, and then grows no further.
Honestly, I don't use EQL methods much myself, if they

I'd like to second a number of people's opinions on this:
No individual should be making a decision to define any
functionality in a global namespace. It just invites clashes,
and it sets a bad precedent. This is entirely irrespective of
the person making the decision and the usefulness of the
prop
Pascal, could you quickly describe:
- What is typically involved doing this work?
- How much time does it typically take?
It might be helpful for people considering taking over

Thank you for all of your hard work doing this!

The system that Dan and I are working on does, in fact,
have a 'with-accessors' macro that does just what you think.

At a guess, this was mean to go to an internal ITA mailing list.
Since I have never known Dan to spam anyone, it seems unlikely
that he would start now.
