Lisp refactoring (was Re: [Bese-devel] more UCW api breakage)

[Matley]

Is there any tool for emacs or not, for lisp refactoring?

I think to a code transformation utility rule-based that takes as input a
stream with lisp code, a rule and generate as output the new version API
compliant lisp code.

So an api breakage can be delivered with the rule that transform the
matching code.

Sorry for my English

positional arguments, even though they're supposed to look to other
yaclml tags which only take attribute args. this is madness. i'm
changing the API of the <ucw:a and <ucw:form macros to look more like
every other tag (i'll change <ucw:render-component as well). instead of
a positional argument they'll take an action attribute parameter.
