Sadly, no one is offering to do that.

I am offering to do something based on what I proposed. I can see how
that can be implemented.

I am explicitly not offering to implement the CommonLisp name spacing
system in Emacs.

I can promise that I won't needlessly differ from it. Where I do differ
from it there will be a good reason.


Of course, I would be very happy if you, or someone else, built a proper
CommonLisp namespacing system in Emacs. Then I wouldn't even have to
implement my lesser proposal.


Nic
