OK, I thought I understood this, but I don't.
There's a second argument to :feature when used in a dependency-def, but
not when it's used in a dependency?
So we would see something like:
:depends-on (:cl-ppcre (:feature :clx "clx-dependent-library"))
and the semantics is
If (member :clx *features*) then clx-dependent-library is a dependency.
Correct?
Is there some reason why this isn't :if-feature or :when-feature? Using
:feature as a conditional seems odd....
thanks,
