[Axiom-developer] Obfuscated Boot Code Contest

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

It is generally admited that in Boot (whether old or new) an
identifier written in all uppercase is passed unmodified in the
generated Lisp code (except for T).  Right?

Well, Old Boot says "Wrong!".  Some of the all-uppercase identifiers
are renamed into case-sensitive uppercase, or renamed to some
something else.  Here is a short list I have:

  ASSOC        --> |assoc|
  DELETE       --> |delete|
  GET          --> GETL
  INTERSECTION --> |intersection|
  LAST         --> |last|
  MEMBER       --> |member|
  RASSOC       --> |rassoc|
  READ         --> VMREAD
  READ-LINE    --> |read-line|
  REDUCE       --> SPADREDUCE
  REMOVE       --> |remove
