Re: Query about IN-PACKAGE

[AS%hp-labs.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa]

On second reading, I would no longer claim what I said in my previous message,
although the text (pg. 183) probably should make it clearer that the :USE
parameter to IN-PACKAGE defaults to '("LISP") ONLY if the package does not
already exist, and otherwise defaults to NIL.  The source of the confusion is
the (conditional) statement that IN-PACKAGE is similar to MAKE-PACKAGE, which
states that "if not supplied, :USE defaults to a list of one package, the LISP
package".
