What are the > other characters for? `+' is conventionally used in Common Lisp for constants like (defconstant +a-constant+ 42). `?' is used in Scheme (and sometimes in CL) for predicates, for instance `(define (some-predicate? x) ...)'. Alas, I don't remember what the `:' is for. Maybe for symbols, in CL, that include package names, like in `(defun some-package:some-symbol () ...)'? > I'd like to write this info in a comment inside the function. > > Also, would it be reasonable to use \(\sw\|\s_\), instead of the > bracketed lists of characters? I guess that would make sense. I could think of other characters that are currently not in the completion table, like `!' that's used in Scheme, as in `(define (modify! something) ...)', or maybe `%' that's conventionally used in CL for internal-use-only functions, `(defun %internal-function () ...)'.
