In my typical use (getting text strings out of apps) my hack is rather slow (perceived delay 1 sec or so). I mainly wrote it so I don't have to unlearn muscle memory I built up with Carbon Emacs. The actual delay depends a lot on how efficient the copy-on-write forking is (and it appears Darwin does not win a medal here). Also my code is a real hack when it comes to returning the value yielded by the script. > Please use #ifdef NS_IMPL_COCOA (as it's possible to run GNUstep on OS > X) around the C function, but leave the lisp function defined and > return an error and/or a message on non NS_IMPL_COCOA. Hmm. Please only define (fbind) the symbol when it's actually implemented; otherwise the fboundp style hacks don't work any more.
