template

========

It can be used to generate code.

For example, you need to write something like 

    (defmethod ((a type1) b)

       {some code})

   

    (defmethod ((a type2) b)

       {some code})

   

    (defmethod ((a type3) b)

       {some code})

   

defmethod don't give ypu a way to set list of types as a qualifier.

You may write

    (template type (type1 type2 type3)

      `(defmethod ((a ,type) b)

         {some code}))

And you can cycle several vars at once:

    (template (name type) ((name1 type1) (name2 type2) (name3 type3))

      `(defmethod ((,name ,type) b)

         {some code}))

And, if simply it easier generate code, than write (for long cond, for example)

    (template () ()

       (this-function-returns-generated-code))

       

Or you may use it for macro-expansion time evaluation.

    (devfar sin1 (template () () (sin 1)))

    

will evaluate (sin 1) at compile-time and put the result as a constant value to defvar.

Package TEMPLATE exports two symbols. You may either import template:template or simply use

    (template:! ...)

    

The package is not intended to be in USE-PACKAGE
