Dear all,<br><br>I am currently implementing the environments interface described<br>in section 8.5 of CLTL2 (pp. 207-214) for MKCL. It feels like a<br>very natural extension of what was already part of the code of the<br>
Lisp-to-C compiler MKCL inherited. It feels so natural in fact<br>that I cannot figure out why that feature has been pulled out<br>of the final ANSI CL specification. [And I have a hell of time<br>standing all those (declare (ignore env)) sprinkled all over the<br>
MKCL source code.]<br><br>I think that some of you reading this list were there, part of<br>the action, during those standardization days. Maybe you could<br>shed some light on what was wrong with this part of the spec<br>
and motivated its removal.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Jean-Claude Beaudoin<br><br>
