Or you can use reader macros (or normal macros) like fset does: https://fwoar.co/pastebin/d281bd93810a1f9491ec42080ea222af80077490.nil.html https://fwoar.co/pas

  In principle I agree that reader macros are handy. In practice I mostly avoid them because reader macros don't have separate namespaces in CL, so it's likely your reader macro will step on one from an external library. (Yes, you can carefully bind *readtable* before compiling code, but methods for doing so are ad hoc and not standardized. This is a perfect example of a convention that Common Lisp programmers need to establish formally when using CL for software engineering.)

    This problem is mostly solved with named-readtables: You declare a readtable like this: https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/objc-lisp-bridge/blob/master/readtable.lisp#L24 https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/objc-lisp-bridge/blob/mast... And use it like this: https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/objc-lisp-bridge/blob/master/objc-data-extractors.lisp#L16 https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/objc-lisp-bridge/blob/mast...

      Now that you mention it I vaguely remember this. Need to look it up again. Thanks!
