In Ansi Lisp string argument to in-package is case sensitive (as
all other strings). Normal reader converts symbols to upper case.
So if you want to access boottran::boottocl
you have to write
(in-package "BOOTTRAN")
(boottocl ...)
Writing
(in-package "boottran")
(boottocl ...)
calls |boottran|::boottocl
BTW: It is intersting to compare sbcl and GCL on:
(make-package "BOOTTRAN")
(in-package "boottran")
Apparently even Ansi GCL stil is does not handle this correctly.
