Previous: Property Lists, Up: Symbols [Contents][Index]
This function is like the built-in gensym, except that it
produces a new interned symbol. If the symbol that is generated
already exists, the function keeps incrementing the counter and trying
again until a new symbol is generated.
This package automatically creates all keywords that are called for by
&key argument specifiers, and discourages the use of keywords
as data unrelated to keyword arguments, so the related function
defkeyword (to create self-quoting keyword symbols) is not
provided.
