Trying to identify what's breaking my system in the syntax-case branch, I found a bunch of around methods in ASDF.
IIRC once upon a time we had removed all the :AROUND methods on exported generic functions, on the grounds that they could unpredictably interact with programmers' extensions. I think we experimented with using a bespoke method combination method to allow ourselves to have our own around methods and "arounder" methods for programmers. Even more vaguely, I think I remember that the method-combination extension didn't work reliably on all implementations, so it was stripped out. But I thought when that happened, we tried to excise the use of method combination in ASDF. Am I hallucinating this? I'd be grateful to anyone whose memory of this stuff is better. thanks, r _______________________________________________ Asdf-devel mailing list Asdf-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel
