Pun for “union” most likely. It’s punny because it is part of a Unix. The original title is union I think though.
We've s/unix/union/'d the title.
Thank you!

#12Anybody remember scsh? Seems a better integration of the shell and Lisp bits if you ask me (although this is a neat hack, don't get me wrong).
There is a 64bit port of scsh which installs against scheme48 available on github, fwiw.

scsh was definitely awesome, and it's not really practical in Common Lisp[0], due to Lisp's unfortunate choice to upcase all symbols. Made sense at the time, but in retrospect I think it was a mistake. It's a real pity that Franz's modern mode[1] didn't become more popular. [0]: it's possible , just ugly as hell because either one would have stuff like (|ls| |etc|) or one would have stuff like (|LENGTH| …). [1]: http…
You can use Readtable case :preserve to avoid the ugly-as-hell stuff [1]. Some libraries do this, for example KM [2]

#15Idk about “unholy”. I wish I could make eshell (in Emacs) my full time shell, but certain things like nvm don’t work, etc.

#16My cousin's a core contrib on [xonsh](https://xonsh.org) which is a posix-compliant python shell. I remember him cackling about making his env completely unusable to anyone else in the world (while giving himself amazing powers)...

nvm sucks! try n!
seriously, it's so much tidier!

In fact you can have case-sensitive Common Lisp packages that are completely backwards compatible with case-insensitive CL code by settings readtable-case to :invert[1], and this works without any problems for interfacing with external case-sensitive environments.[2] Allegro's modern mode is what you would get if you assume case sensitivity as a default, but portable Common Lisp can handle case sensitivity perfectly fine without breaking backwards compatibility.

It never got readline/libedit support AFAIK. I started once but it never got ready.
