\section{The [[BOOT]] package}
Everything in axiom that the user references eventually shows
up here. The interpreter and the algebra are run after switching
to the boot package (in-package "BOOT") so any symbol that the
interpreter or algebra uses has to (cough, cough) appear here.
<<*>>=
<<license>>
(IMPORT-MODULE "sys-constants")
(IMPORT-MODULE "sys-globals")
@
Note that it is confusing the package \Tool{Axiom}'s compiler and
interpreter use is called [[BOOT]]. It should have been
[[Spad]], or better yet [[Axiom]].
\section{Portability issues}
This section discusses some portability issues known to affect
this module.
\subsection{[[compiler-let]]}
The construct [[compiler-let]] is not part of ANSI Lisp, although
it had been described in CLTL. Therefore some Lisp implementations
offer it as extensions.

#+:clisp (import 'ext:compiler-let)

; NAME: Boot Package
; PURPOSE: Provide forward references to Boot Code for functions to be at
; defined at the boot level, but which must be accessible
; not defined at lower levels.
(in-package "BOOT")

(defmacro def-boot-val (p val where)
`(compiler-let nil
(defparameter ,p ,val ,where)
(export '(,p) "BOOT")))
