[parenscript-devel] CREATE: incorrect translation of argument names

[Vladimir Sedach]

Hi Leslie,

Keyword treatment is kind of a sore point for PS. The compromise based
on use cases that we came up with (this thread provides some
background: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/parenscript-devel/2009-July/000569.html)
is to always translate keywords as strings, and to not perform any
name mangling on them (this is so you can use keywords like :+ and :%
and whatever and have them be easy to read - useful for things like
parsers; this also keeps the rules for symbol-to-js translation
reasonably not crazy).

The way to do what you're looking for (this works in the repository
version, but not in the latest release) is: (ps:ps ((create foo-bar
1)))

Ie - CREATE now treats its slot arguments as literals; there is no
notion of "initargs" or anything else.

Thanks,
Vladimir
