[postmodern-devel] Clozure CL Unicode support

[Daniel Lyons]

Hi,

I have a trivial change request, which I am currently hacking around.

Currently, cl-postgres.asd contains:

(defparameter *unicode*
   #+(or sb-unicode unicode ics) t
   #-(or sb-unicode unicode ics) nil)

It would make life slightly easier and less confusing for Clozure  
users if this could be extended just slightly:

(defparameter *unicode*
   #+(or sb-unicode unicode ics ccl) t
   #-(or sb-unicode unicode ics ccl) nil)

Clozure supposedly only uses Unicode for characters, so it ought to be  
a fine assumption. I've gotten around this on a current project by  
placing these lines in my .asd file:

#+ccl
(push :unicode *features*)

The *features* variable seems to also include some other options if  
you'd rather (I don't know if any of these are deprecated or  
preferable, I'm a bit new to all this): :clozure, :clozure-common- 
lisp, :openmcl-unicode-strings.

Oh, and incidentally, thanks for this library! I haven't been so  
pleased with a database library for as long as I can remember. It's  
really a joy to use.
