Looks like you sent a patch against 0.1.0. I'm pretty sure this has
been fixed in 0.1.1 which was released about four months ago.

If I apply your patch against the 0.1.0 release this new feature
doesn't work for me - test.lisp barfs on CMUCL and LW. Which Lisp did
you develop this with?

FWIW, I had similar functionality in my first (unpublished) version of
CL-INTERPOL but gave up on this due to portability reasons. You might
want to take a look at the following c.l.l thread:

Thanks,
Edi.
