Common Lisp Identation in Emacs

[Aleksandr Skobelev]

Hello!

I'm just wondering, if I'm totally wrong or the lisp identation in Emacs
by default doesn't meet very well to requirements of CL style and all the
co-lispers use clisp-indent.el (or maybe something like) to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Aleksandr

From my init file:

(defun rdm-lisp-mode-hook ()
(setq lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function)
(local-set-key (kbd "[") 'insert-parentheses)
(slime-mode t))
(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook 'rdm-lisp-mode-hook)

(setq lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function)

But without (load-library "clisp-indent") standard
common-lisp-indent-function still indents some forms improperly. For
example it indents

(function plus (lambda (x y)
(+ x y)))

as

(function plus (lambda (x y)
(+ x y)))

, and
(cond
((cond1)
(form1)
(form2)
(form3)))

as

(cond
((cond1)
(form1)
(form2)
(form3)))
