[Openmcl-devel] Foreign Types in OpenMCL

[David Steuber]

Hi list,

I'm getting my feet wet with Carbon programming in OpenMCL.  Some 
working code I have has this form in it:

(rlet ((nib-ref :<IBN>ib<R>ef))...

I'm wondering why this can't be the more readable and easier to type 
(IMO) ANSI like form:

(rlet ((nib-ref :|IBNibRef|))...

Also:

CL-USER> (symbol-name :|Foo|)
"Foo"

Anyway, it's just a thought.
