This is actually what I'm doing as an interim workaround. If this was official functionality it would be great. I've been assuming that it was more desirable to have this represented notationally. For backward compatibility it might be nice for the deprecated (bareword) behavior to retain the old semantics, though. (Default representation for dereferenced aggregates doesn't matter to me, just that you currently must.) -- Ryan Pavlik <rpav...@gmail.com> 425.220.9585 _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://lists.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
