defstar

Defstar is a collection of Common Lisp macros that can be used in place of defun, defmethod, defgeneric, defvar, defparameter, flet, labels, let* and lambda. Each macro has the same name as the form it replaces, with a star added at the end, e.g. defun*. (the exception is the let* replacement, which is called *let).

The macros allow:

• easy inclusion of type declarations for arguments in lambda lists
• easy inclusion of return type declarations in function and method definitions
• easy declaration of variables as 'ignored', by the use of '_' as a placeholder variable in argument lists.
• easy inclusion of assertions for each argument and for the function's return value, thus allowing simple programming by contract.

See defstar's home page for a detailed discussion of each macro, with usage examples.

Installation requires ASDF or Quicklisp. Defstar does not depend on any other libraries.
