It would be very useful if GCL implemented readtable-case for a project that provides a Mathematica-syntax interface to the Maxima computer algebra system. This sourceforge project called Mockmma already implements a small subset of Mathematica command, using code originally by Richard Fateman, and has a Windows interface via wxMaxima. This was originally developed in Allegro lisp which distinguishes case. If GCL could accept the command (setf (readtable-case *mockmma-readtable*) :preserve) then the integration with Maxima (compiled in GCL) and wxMaxima would be greatly improved.
Is there any interest in implementing readtable-case? How involved would this be? Hunter http://sourceforge.net/projects/mockmma/
