1. Can a package use itself? Or is this "an error"? 2. Does the :use argument to in-package default to the list of the lisp package in the same way that it does for make-package? In other words, if you do (in-package 'foo) and package foo does not yet exist, does it default to using the lisp package? What if package foo does exist but doesn't already use the lisp package? -Sandra -------
