I consider that a bug. Displaying too many warnings is also a bug, but the users can manually use W-C-U if there's none and they want it; they can't remove the W-C-U if there's one and they don't want it. Anyway, I agree that backward compatibility is important enough here, and that if and when more implementations are supported, that WCU will become less relevant and may be removed for good later. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Instead of loving your enemies, treat your friends a little better. — Edgar Watson Howe _______________________________________________ asdf-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel
