[lispfaq-devel] FAQ comments

[Nikodemus Siivola]

Some of the following are more along the lines of QYSA, but I hope
that that doesn't matter overly.

Random comments from the first reading:

 1.2: discussion, not disscussion

 1.4: Might be worthwhile to give /emphasis/ to the word predates,
      since it seems a relatively common misconception that CL is
      an older dialect with obsolete cruft.

 2.1: ECL is afaik the current name -- might be good to note
      that the sf project name "ecls" is both a historical artifact and
      due to ecl being taken on sf.

      Poplog: is there anything happening there? If not, maybe it
      should not be listed.

      SBCL: "SBCL runs on many Unix and Unix-like systems."

 2.4: Probably woth mentioning common-lisp.net.

 3:   Add "undefined behaviour".

 4.1: Just a pet peeve of mine: when showing what "Hello World"
      looks like there is little point in using format...

        (write-line "Hello, World!")

 4.5: Mention cl-ppcre.

 4.8: Probably good to mention that doing the "local modification"
      to a function in the COMMON-LISP package is undefined behaviour.

 5.1: Maybe something to the effect: "However, the problem here
      is actully not using a paren-aware editor. Interaction with
      the REPL is usually best accomplished from the comforts of
      an editor that integrates with the list. See XXX."
