Re: [Axiom-developer] is there any specification about how to use Lisp operations in AXIOM

[Mike Dewar]

You can't provide optional parameters to Lisp functions using $Lisp
because the Axiom interpreter doesn't understand the syntactic meaning
of ":".  You must either provide a Lisp cover function like e.g.:
)lisp (defun myarray (dims in-el) (make-array dims :initial-element in-el))
MYARRAY(10,1)$Lisp
or alternatively try to find an Axiom equivalent.  In this case it is
quite likely that the domain PrimitiveArray has the functionality you
need, for example the result of:
new(10,1)$PrimitiveArray(Integer)
is identical to that of myarray above.

Regards, Mike.
