Comment 4 for bug 485717

re THREAD-PLIST: isn't that easily implementable using a special that is automatically rebound in new threads? iow, redundant? well, debugging tools like Slime could show it, which would be useful, but that's fixing the dev env's lack of extensibility at the wrong position, imho.

this would be trivial to implement if there was a *new-thread-default-special-bindings*, containing eval'd forms or funcall'd closures that return a list of specials and their values. (although there's prior art on this, and i didn't spend enough time considering what is The Right Way(tm) to implement them...)

just some 0.02...
