All projects of Hexstream

Hexstream/anaphoric-variants Gives access to anaphoric variants of operators through one macro: ANAPHORIC. The user explicitly provides a variable name, preserving sanity, in contrast to the traditional use of an evil implicit variable ("IT"). Some operators can bind additional handy variables when explicitly requested. (Formerly called "explicit-anaphora".)
Hexstream/bubble-operator-upwards A function that "bubbles an operator upwards" in a form, demultiplexing all alternative branches by way of cartesian product. This operation is notably useful for easy implementation of certain kinds of shorthand notations in macros. A cartesian-product function is also exported, as it's needed to implement the main function.
Hexstream/canonicalized-initargs Provides a :canonicalize slot option accepting an initarg canonicalization function.
Hexstream/cartesian-product-switch A macro for choosing the appropriate form to execute according to the combined results of multiple tests. This is a straightforward and efficient alternative to the convoluted ad-hoc conditionals one might otherwise resort to.
Hexstream/cesdi Provides a compute-effective-slot-definition-initargs generic function that allows for more ergonomic initialization of effective slot definition objects.
Hexstream/class-options Provides easy access to the defining class and its options during initialization or reinitialization of its subcomponents.
Hexstream/clhs This installation helper makes it even easier to install a copy of the CLHS locally. (ql:quickload "clhs").
Hexstream/compatible-metaclasses Validates superclasses according to a simple substitution model, thereby greatly simplifying the definition of class mixins.
Hexstream/definitions-systems Provides a simple unified extensible way of processing named definitions.
Hexstream/enhanced-boolean Provides a canonical way of converting generalized booleans to booleans.
Hexstream/enhanced-defclass Provides a truly extensible version of DEFCLASS that can accurately control the expansion according to the metaclass and automatically detect the suitable metaclass by analyzing the DEFCLASS form.
Hexstream/enhanced-eval-when Provides an enhanced EVAL-WHEN macro that supports (eval-when t ...) as a shorthand for (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute) ...), addressing concerns about verbosity. An ENHANCED-EVAL-WHEN alias is also supported, as well as an EVAL-ALWAYS macro and package nickname, for good measure.
Hexstream/enhanced-find-class Provides a canonical way of converting class designators to classes.
Hexstream/enhanced-multiple-value-bind Provides an enhanced MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND macro that adds support for lambda keywords by expanding to a MULTIPLE-VALUE-CALL when necessary. This makes catching multiple-value &rest and &key much more lightweight and convenient. A MULTIPLE-VALUE-&BIND alias is supported.
Hexstream/enhanced-typep Obsoletes all TYPEP thin wrappers.
Hexstream/evaled-when Provides a way of extracting and replicating the compile-time side-effects of forms.
Hexstream/fakenil Provides a canonical stand-in for NIL for contexts where NIL means "no value".
Hexstream/first-time-value Returns the result of evaluating a form in the current lexical and dynamic context the first time it's encountered, and the cached result of that computation on subsequent evaluations.
Hexstream/incognito-keywords Introduces a new kind of keyword that looks just like any non-keyword symbol and allows safe usage of convenient but clashy symbol names by multiple libraries without conflicts through sharing. Some names that might benefit are (alist blist plist macro operator index &doc &decl &rest+ &destructure &ignored &ignorable).
Hexstream/inheriting-readers Provides a simple yet powerful value inheritance scheme.
Hexstream/its Provides convenient access to multiple values of an object in a concise, explicit and efficient way.
Hexstream/macro-level MACRO-LEVEL is an embarrassingly trivial convenience macro that saves on indentation while being more concise and direct. (macro-level ...) == (macrolet ((m () ...)) (m))
Hexstream/map-bind MAP-BIND is a macro that allows visual grouping of variables with their corresponding values (not necessarily 1:1) in calls to mapping operators when using an inline LAMBDA. It does so in a way that automatically supports virtually every existing and future mapping operator, all lambda keywords and FUNCALL/APPLY/MULTIPLE-VALUE-CALL variations.
Hexstream/multiple-value-variants Gives access to multiple-value variants of operators through one macro: MULTIPLE-VALUE. There are built-in variants for some standard operators; it's easy to create your own variants for other operators. The multiple-value mapping operators are especially useful.
Hexstream/object-class Ensures that special subclasses of standard-object cluster right in front of standard-object in the class precedence list.
Hexstream/parse-number-range Parses LOOP's convenient "for-as-arithmetic" syntax into 5 simple values: from, to, limit-kind (:inclusive, :exclusive or nil if unbounded), by (step) and direction (+ or -)). Further related utilities are provided. Intended for easy implementation of analogous functionality in other constructs.
Hexstream/place-modifiers place-modifiers essentially gives access to hundreds of modify-macros through one single macro: MODIFY.
Hexstream/place-utils Provides a few utilities relating to setfable places.
Hexstream/positional-lambda positional-lambda is a concise, intuitive and flexible syntax (macro) for trivial lambdas that eschews explicit (and often contextually-redundant) naming of parameter variables in favor of positional references, with support for a used or ignored &rest parameter and automatic declaration of ignored parameters when logical "gaps" are left in the positional references. Further convenience features are provided.
Hexstream/shared-preferences Notably allows flexible specification of package-local preferences.
Hexstream/simple-guess Defines a simple extensible protocol for computing a guess using advisors.
Hexstream/symbol-namespaces Defines a new kind of package that's named by a symbol rather than a string and that maps from existing symbols to their respective "implicitly managed" counterparts. The motivating use-case is to conceptually allow multiple definitions of the same kind on a single symbol, without conflicts.
Hexstream/trivial-jumptables Provides efficient O(1) jumptables on supported Common Lisp implementations and falls back to O(log(n)) on others.
Hexstream/with-output-to-stream Provides a simple way of directing output to a stream according to the concise and intuitive semantics of FORMAT's stream argument.
Hexstream/with-shadowed-bindings Establishes a new lexical context within which specified bindings are explicitly shadowed, making it clear that they are not referenced within, thereby reducing cognitive load.
