Sorry about mentioning flet again, but it's a good example to discuss.
Would you want that we have cl-flet, which is an restricted version
of the current implementation, and cl-flet*, which is like the current
cl-flet? Or two constructs with non-overlapping semantics? Or was
extending cl-flet as had been done ok for you?
Your suggestion sounds logical and objective, but what has "a relation to
CL" or is "not CL" is a bit subjective, it is an individual decision
where to draw the line. I mean, anyone could agree with your claim but
some may still come to other decision than you would expect.
Michael.
