It would be helpful it you would list and/or describe the default value 
that fomus initially assigns to each parameter:

:AUTO-ACCS-FUN  [nil]

or whatever.

  also what does the -FUN suffix mean?? function?   but the value I pass 
is a keyword, not a function. if you mean that internally fomus uses a 
function then i dont think the user cares if you do it with a function 
or a hamster, its not really relevant to me if i cant pass a function. 
I would be happy to trade that information for a shorter name:
	:auto-accs :nokey1


what does the 1 mean after the names like nokey1? i dont see a 2 
anywhere so why do i have to always add a 1?? even if there is a 2, i 
will never remember what 1 vs 2 means so i will always have to refer to 
the docs.

using keywords as parameters is nice, and since there are so many of 
then and since you define them as globals inside fomus you could 
associate documentation  each parameter so users could look up what 
they need in the repl:


(fomus:doc :auto-accs)
"controls the foo of bar. possible values are: bif buf.  current valuee 
is buf. defaut value is zuz.

(fomus:doc :part)
the following settiing are defined for class PART:  asd,qw3e, asd, xcv
