$Revision: 5.0.2.3 $
Package: EXCL
If the value of this variable is true, in-package will work as it was specified to in CLtL-1 rather than as it is specified in ANSI. That is, it will evaluate its required argument, it will accept the nicknames and use keyword arguments, and it will create a package if its required argument does not denote an already defined package. (ANSI calls for cl:defpackage to do what was done by in-package in CLtL-1.)
We provide this variable to allow you to use existing source files which depend on CLtL-1 in-package behavior but we recommend that you modify the files to use ANSI behavior as soon as possible. The initial value of this variable is nil.
The general documentation description is in introduction.htm. The index is in index.htm.
