Hello.
I want to try to do something about portability of universally
present features, given that stndard revisions are extremely unlikely,
and CDR process seems to be the best way to obtain a stable ID for some
version of description.
As automatic code processing is a large part of Common Lisp
identity as it is presented, and there is a small and easy to define
chunk of functionality that is missing, I am preparing a CDR on portable
code walking support.
Before I formally submit a CDR proposal, I want to try to get
some feedback. The current version of the writeup I have is at:
https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/mraskin/cdr-walkability/blob/master/walkability.txt
Please comment on that proposal, here or via issues or maybe
even merge requests. I will announce the link to the discussion in the
ELS mailing list (as ELS conference seems to be the closest
approximation to community discussion we have).
I considered including Trucler API as an option, but currently
I doubt I am able to do it well: mixing a coherent API with multiple
optional additions that are useful even as single functions is a harder
task. I want to start somewhere.
Separately, if someone has some proposals on how to make CDR
process used more — or matter more, please share. Probably on cdr-devel

Thank you, goodbye
