[climacs-devel] Re: DEFINE-SYNTAX

[John Q Splittist]

This makes sense to me.

I've been wondering about the best way to deal with buffer attributes, 
in particular from parsing a

-*- attr:value; -*-

line. Obviously this could include a Syntax:Common-lisp; entry as 
another (as in, an additional) way of solving the auto-syntax issue. My 
initial thought was just adding a slot to the buffer object with an 
alist and a bunch of relevant getters and setters. But I'm not sure 
that's sufficiently Common Lispy.

I agree with this, too: 'Fundamental' seems better than 'Basic'.
