Also BTW, I noticed missing from your list of implementations is <i>Genera</i>, the still-used Symbolics Common Lisp. I am in close touch with its maintainer Gary Palter, who (I believe) also reads openMCL email. <div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">--Tim</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jul 6, 2024, at 12:55, Alexander Fedorov <varedif.a.s@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span>Dear all,</span><br><span></span><br><span>Over 10 years ago, SBCL implemented the Package-Local Nicknames (PLNs)</span><br><span>extension. Since then, PLNs have also been adopted by multiple</span><br><span>implementations (ABCL, CCL, ECL, Clasp, Allegro CL and LispWorks) and</span><br><span>are now widely used in many projects.</span><br><span></span><br><span>However, PLNs are still considered experimental, as stated in the SBCL</span><br><span>manual, since there is no formal specification for them, and each</span><br><span>implementation interprets various corner cases differently.

You can find the latest version here:</span><br><span>https://gleefre.github.io/cdr-package-local-nicknames/index.html.</span><br><span></span><br><span>There are currently nine unresolved standardization issues, each with</span><br><span>at least one proposed resolution.
