Arguments: configuration
Configurations contain information about the Lisp environment. The
current configuration is the value of (configuration *system*). Among
the information stored is the desired value for many standard global
variables. These globals are set to these values when the system is
initialized. Changing a value in the configuration changes the current
value of the global. Accessors are typically named with a symbol named
the same as the global variable but without the surrounding stars (if
any).
This function accesses the value of the print-case property, which
corresponds to the *print-case* global variable. This
global variable controls the way symbols are printed. The values can
be :upcase and :downcase. If the value is :upcase, symbols are printed
in all uppercase, if :downcase, they are printed in all lowercase. The
initial value for the IDE is :downcase as lowercase is easier to read.
print-case is a property of the configuration class.
You can examine and change configuration options with the inspector. Choose Tools | Inspect System Data | Configuration Options.
