1 Issue 6 (Additional keyword argument to MAKE-PACKAGE)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════

1.1 Descriptions
────────────────

  An additional keyword argument to `make-package' similar to the `:use'
  keyword argument would be a nice feature. There are only two
  implementations introducing this extension, unfortunately they use
  different API for this argument.

  Possible questions:
  • Does it accept an alist or a nested list?
  • Is the default value implementation-dependent, or is it an empty
    list?


1.2 Current behavior
────────────────────

  sbcl, ccl, abcl, clasp, lispworks: no additional keyword argument.

  ecl: has an additional keyword argument `:local-nicknames', but it is
  undocumented and it segfaults on incorrect usage. The expected value
  is a list of conses: `((nickname . package)*)'.

  acl: has an additional keyword argument `:local-nicknames'. The
  expected value is a list of lists: `((nickname package)*)'.


1.3 Proposal EXTRA-KEYWORD-ARGUMENT-LIST
────────────────────────────────────────

  Add `:local-nicknames' keyword argument to `make-package':
  ┌────
  │ local-nicknames ::= ((nickname package)*)
  └────


  `nickname' — a /string designator/.

  `package' — a /package designator/.

  `local-nicknames' defaults to an /empty list/.
