Alexandria is a collection of portable public domain utilities that
|
|
meet the following constraints:
|
|
|
|
* Utilities, not extensions: Alexandria will not contain conceptual
|
|
extensions to Common Lisp, instead limiting itself to tools and
|
|
utilities that fit well within the framework of standard ANSI
|
|
Common Lisp. Test-frameworks, system definitions, logging
|
|
facilities, serialization layers, etc. are all outside the scope of
|
|
Alexandria as a library, though well within the scope of Alexandria
|
|
as a project.
|
|
|
|
* Conservative: Alexandria limits itself to what project members
|
|
consider conservative utilities. Alexandria does not and will not
|
|
include anaphoric constructs, loop-like binding macros, etc.
|
|
|
|
* Portable: Alexandria limits itself to portable parts of Common
|
|
Lisp. Even apparently conservative and useful functions remain
|
|
outside the scope of Alexandria if they cannot be implemented
|
|
portably. Portability is here defined as portable within a
|
|
conforming implementation: implementation bugs are not considered
|
|
portability issues.

Patches:
|
|
|
|
Patches are always welcome! Please send them to the mailing list as
|
|
attachments, generated by "git format-patch -1".
|
|
|
|
Patches should include a commit message that explains what's being
|
|
done and /why/, and when fixing a bug or adding a feature you should
|
|
also include a test-case.
|
|
|
|
Be advised though that right now new features are unlikely to be
|
|
accepted until 1.0 is officially out of the door.
