Does the fact that the defining form name does not start with `def' have anything to do with it? We could call it `def-cl-struct'. There is also this: (:conc-name compilation--message->)) Years have taught me that enabling a definition to be a little shorter by making names by concatenation is a bad idea. It makes the code harder to understand because there are references to these names that you can't find with simple searching. Is there a way to rewrite that definition so it does not concatenate names? If there is none, can we create one? -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
