[Openmcl-devel] Is this a bug?

[Gary Byers]

The release notes say:

---
   All ObjC classes are properly named, either with a name exported
   from the NS package (in the case of a predefined class declared in
   the interface files) or with the name provided in the DEFCLASS
   form (with :METACLASS NS:+NS-OBJECT) which defines the class from
   lisp.  The class's lisp name is now proclaimed to be a "static"
   variable (as if by DEFSTATIC, as described above) and given the
   class object as its value.  In other words:

(send (find-class 'ns:ns-application) 'shared-application)

   and

(send ns:ns-application 'shared-application)

   are equivalent.  (Since it's not legal to bind a "static" variable,
   it may be necessary to rename some things so that unrelated
   variables whose names coincidentally conflict with ObjC class names
   don't do so.)
---

Whether that's more trouble than it's worth is another question.
