[Openmcl-devel] make-symbol with uppercase/lowercase strings -- vertical bars or backslashes?

[Dave Cooper]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there any predictability to this behavior in CCL?:

 CL-USER> (make-symbol "heynow")
#:|heynow|
CL-USER> (make-symbol "heyNow")
#:|heyNow|
CL-USER> (make-symbol "HeyNow")
#:|HeyNow|
CL-USER> (make-symbol "HEYNow")
#:|HEYNow|
CL-USER> (make-symbol "HEYnOW")
#:HEY\nOW
CL-USER> (make-symbol "HEYnoW")
#:|HEYnoW|
CL-USER> (make-symbol "HEYnoW")
#:|HEYnoW|
CL-USER> (make-symbol "HEYNoW")
#:HEYN\oW
CL-USER> (make-symbol "HEYnOW")
#:HEY\nOW
CL-USER> (make-symbol "HeYnOW")
#:|HeYnOW|
CL-USER>
