Analogously, SB-EXT:PARSE-NATIVE-NAMESTRING takes an AS-DIRECTORY, forcing a filename to parse into a directory pathname. - * optimizations: COPY-SEQ, FILL, and SUBSEQ are 30-80% faster for + * enhancement: implicit generic function creation now signals a + specific style-warning IMPLICIT-GENERIC-FUNCTION-WARNING, which + users can bind handlers for and muffle around calls to LOAD. + * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM allows unicode arguments and environments + to be used (using the default stream external format), and allows + non-simple strings to be used. (thanks to Harald Hanche-Olsen) + * optimization: COPY-SEQ, FILL, and SUBSEQ are 30-80% faster for strings and vectors whose element-type or simplicity is not fully known at compile-time. + * optimization: STRING-TRIM and related functions no longer allocate + a new string when no trimming needs to be performed.
