Proposal: setf instead of setq #9

Closed Symbolics closed 5 years ago

Symbolics commented 5 years ago

Generally setq is only seen these days in emacs and setf is the generally accepted 'best practice' in setting variables in common lisp.

This proposal would replace all occurrences of setq with setf

I now use let in most of the examples (setf is not well defined for new variables across different implementations). Setq is now gone from the code.
