Short-version: You can use :: to access internal symbols of a package. So the code in my previous email should be amended to
(load-module "notify") (notify:notify-server-on) or (load-module "notify") (notify::notify-server-toggle) Long version: # is a non-terminating dispatching macro character <http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/02_dh.htm>, which means that the meaning is determined by the character following the sharp-sign (#). #: creates an is an uninterned <http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/26_glo_u.htm#uninterned> symbol, that is a symbol that doesn't belong to a package. They are normally used for package designators among other things. In the case of (in-package #:notify), #:notify stands in (denotes) the package notify. #' is short hand notation for accessing the function namespace. Because funcall takes a function designator <http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/26_glo_f.htm#function_designator> we can get away with passing it a symbol and it will be coerced it to the function bound to that symbol in the function namespace.
