Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install cl-named-readtables on Ubuntu.
What is cl-named-readtables
cl-named-readtables is:
Named-Readtables is a library that provides a namespace for readtables akin to the already-existing namespace of packages in Common Lisp. In particular:
you can associate readtables with names, and retrieve readtables by names;
you can associate source files with readtable names, and be sure that the right readtable is active when compiling/loading the file;
similarly, your development environment now has a chance to automatically determine what readtable should be active while processing source forms on interactive commands. (E.g. think of
C-c C-cin Slime (yet to be done))
It follows that Named-Readtables is a facility for using readtables in a localized way.
Additionally, it also attempts to become a facility for using readtables in a modular way. In particular:
it provides a macro to specify the content of a readtable at a glance;
it makes it possible to use multiple inheritance between readtables.
