Abstract:
This is a proposal to the X3 J13 committee for both extending and modifying
the Common LISP language definition to provide a standard basis for Common
LISP support of the variety of characters used to represent the languages of the
international community.
This proposal was created by the Character Subcommittee of X3 J13. We
would like to acknowledge discussions with T. Yuasa and other members of
the JIS Technical Working Group, comments from members of X3 J13, and
the proposals [Ida87], [Linden87], [Kerns87], and [Kurokawa88] for providing
the motivation and direction for these extensions. As all these documents and
discussions were created expressly for LISP standardization usage, we have borrowed freely from their ideas as well as the texts themselves.
