Hi
Would there be any interest in including XP in GCL? It provides a
number of ansi-required functions and facilities which GCL currently
lacks: eg formatter, copy-pprint-dispatch etc.
The license is liberal (MIT style) and it was written by Richard
Waters' whose pretty-printer proposals became part of the CL standard.
I am no pprint expert, and it was a desire to learn about CL's pretty
printer which led me to try XP. It compiles 'out of the box' on
current CVS, and has a very user-friendly #'xp::install. It includes
a test-suite of over 600 tests, and GCL passes all but 5 (which did
not look too serious to me, in my ignorance ;-).
I believe that both CMUCL and Clisp use XP (they did both at one time,
certainly).
It's available at:
