REPL Extensions in Standalone EXE
Prebuilt standalone SBCL executables for Windows include a few modules from “SYS:CONTRIB;” collection. This list includes an extended REPL (SB-ACLREPL module).
When building standalone executable images, I add some features to SB-ACLREPL (this part of build process uses noticeable amount of code that is unpublished now).
SB-ACLREPL:ALIAS facility is used for their definition; the standard
:aliases command prints a list of them, with a brief description of each
one.
Current command set provides a convenient way of bootstrapping Quicklisp and loading systems provided by its repository.
Bootstrapping happens automatically when a Quicklisp-related command is entered for the first time, unless quicklisp is already loaded by other means at that moment: initial quicklisp.lisp (loaded from a socket stream) brings in another parts and the repository metadata.
Arguments for this kind of commands are never evaluated. They should be
either symbols or string literals; non-qualified symbols that are used as
string designators are not interned to the current *package* (internally, a
special temporal package is used to achieve this).
Load one or more systems.
Search system and release names in Quicklisp repository; list matching
systems (the facility itself is provided by QL-DIST:SYSTEM-APROPOS).
Update Quicklisp metadata. With no arguments, update all subscribed dists and also Quicklisp client.
Experimental: list ASDF systems that were loaded.
