Well, I reinstalled my clisp/emacs/slime bundle switching to Lisp
Cabinet and I was not able to replicate the problem, so everything's
fine on that regard.
But I have another question: how do I enter Unicode chars in the rexexp?
For example I need to replace "whatever" with “whatever”, I tried to replace
"([^"\r\n]*)"
with
\u201c\1\u201d
but it didn't work.
I know I could generate and concatenate Unicode chars with Lisp, e.g.
(code-char #x201c), but it'd be cleaner to do it directly inside the regexp.
Thanks.
