<dt>Problem Description:<p></dt>
|
|
<dd>The ~D format directive is indicated to act like ~A with decimal printing when the argument is not an integer. The ~R, ~B, ~O, and ~X are described as acting like ~D, but it is not stated specifically that they do the same. Also, it is not clear if the common format parameters between ~D and ~A are passed along to ~A (but see the page for ~F, which implies that the width parameter does get passed along from ~D to ~A.)<p></dd>
|
|
<dt>Proposal (FORMAT-RADIX-NONINTEGER:UNIFY)<p></dt>
|
|
<dd>Make ~R, ~B, ~O, and ~X be consistent with ~D on non-integer arguments. <b>In this situation</b>, ~B, ~O, and ~X should bind *PRINT-BASE* to 2, 8, or 16 (respectively) then invoke ~A on the argument. ~R should bind *PRINT-BASE* to the radix parameter (if present) and invoke ~A. All of these (and ~D) should invoke ~A with the specified <i>mincol</i> and <i>padchar</i> parameters, if they are present, and ignore <i>commachar</i> and <i>comma-interval</i>.<p></dd>
