Thanks, I read that description, and as far as I can gather, only
USE-PACKAGE vaguely fits that description,
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_use_pk.htm#use-package
It's an optional feature that shouldn't be used -- much like -rf to rm or
really any flag to any program -- if you one doesn't understand what it
does.
It will error and offer restarts if two used packages export symbols with
the
same name.
Which reminds me.... I wonder if Gerd's branch also comes with a
programmable
interactive restart system :-)
