Subject: Re: Upper/Lower Case Question From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1995/04/22 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <19950422T211047Z.enag@naggum.no> [Simon Brooke] | H'mmm ... this is a trick I haven't seen before, and could make CL a | damn sight more tolerable (I *hate* a language which only knows how to | shout). Before I start madly into it, what are the disadvantages and | gotchas of using this as a standard working mode? :invert has its dangers. any use of uppercase letters will turn them into lowercase letters in the symbol names, and you may not want that, but perhaps :downcase will work as you want. I bind *print-case* to :downcase, and find this very convenient. #<Erik> -- sufficiently advanced political correctness is indistinguishable from irony
