README

        
* Introduction

  This repository contains the TeX and plain-text source files for the

  "Well Specified Common Lisp" specification.

  "Well Specified Common Lisp" will be abbreviated WSCL, and it should

  be pronounced like "whistle".

  Well Specified Common Lisp has not been published by any standards

  organization and is thus not an official standard, let alone a new

  Common Lisp standard.

  Well Specified Common Lisp is intended as a more strict version of

  the current Common Lisp standard. It is more strict in that it

  attempts to specify required behavior of implementations in many

  cases where the current Common Lisp standard is either silent on the

  subject, or specifically mentions unspecified behavior. We intend to

  accomplish this work in an as uncontroversial way as possible.

  Specifically, we mainly want to consolidate behavior that most

  existing Common Lisp implementations already agree upon.

  New WSCL issues can be submitted by opening a pull request with the

  issue. Examples of current issues can be found in the

  `wscl-issues/draft` directory. New issue status should be marked as

  "draft" and the issue file should be located in the

  `wscl-issues/draft` directory.

* Content

  + file:dpANS3 directory ::

       This directory contains the TeX sources of the final draft of

       the Common Lisp specification with two kinds of changes:

       1. Modifications to make the TeX sources syntactically correct

          and internally consistent without affecting the semantics.

       2. Modifications due to the application of passed WSCL cleanup

          issues.

  + file:x3j13-issues directory ::

       This directory contains a subset of the X3J13 cleanup issues

       produced by the committee.

       The files in this directory have been obtained from

       http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/lisp/doc/standard/ansi/cleanup/

       on 2021-05-06. Unfortunately, that collection does not contain

       all issue files.

  + file:wscl-issues directory ::

       This directory contains cleanup issues which describe changes

       that produce the WSCL specification from the final draft of the

       Common Lisp specification.

       New issues should be submitted by opening a pull request with

       the issue marked as a "draft" and in the draft directory.

  + file:changes directory ::

       This directory contains descriptions of changes that were made

       to the TeX sources of the final draft of the Common Lisp

       specification as well as the X3J13 cleanup issues.
