Yes. But if I elaborate my proposal of separate namespaces, you could have both
advantages:
(load "@lib/simul.l")
# Global grid symbols, created in 'pico' namespace
(off *Grid1 *Grid2 *Grid3)
# Create each grid in its own namespace
(symbols 'pico~grid1 'pico)
(setq *Grid1 (grid 8 8))
(symbols 'pico~grid2 'pico)
(setq *Grid2 (grid 8 8))
(symbols 'pico~grid3 'pico)
(setq *Grid3 (grid 8 8))
# Restore search-order
(symbols '(pico))
Then:
: (symbols '(grid2 pico)
(mapc println *Grid2) )
(a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8)
(b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8)
(c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6 c7 c8)
(d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6 d7 d8)
(e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8)
(f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8)
(g1 g2 g3 g4 g5 g6 g7 g8)
(h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 h7 h8)
-> ("h1" "h2" "h3" "h4" "h5" "h6" "h7" "h8")
but
: (symbols '(grid2 pico)
(mapc println *Grid1) )
("a1" "a2" "a3" "a4" "a5" "a6" "a7" "a8")
("b1" "b2" "b3" "b4" "b5" "b6" "b7" "b8")
("c1" "c2" "c3" "c4" "c5" "c6" "c7" "c8")
("d1" "d2" "d3" "d4" "d5" "d6" "d7" "d8")
("e1" "e2" "e3" "e4" "e5" "e6" "e7" "e8")
("f1" "f2" "f3" "f4" "f5" "f6" "f7" "f8")
("g1" "g2" "g3" "g4" "g5" "g6" "g7" "g8")
("h1" "h2" "h3" "h4" "h5" "h6" "h7" "h8")
-> ("h1" "h2" "h3" "h4" "h5" "h6" "h7" "h8")
All these symbols are separated now, but still
readable and printable by name if the correct
namespace is selected.
