Track-Best Library Updated July 8th, 2013
Patrick Stein

I updated my track-best library to allow you to keep all of the the things tied for best. The WITH-TRACK-BEST macro now accepts the :KEEP-TIES keyword parameter.

Here are some examples of using the :KEEP-TIES option. For all of the examples, we will use the same sequence of TRACK calls:

(defun track-numbers ()
  (track :one 1)
  (track :uno 1)
  (track :two 2)
  (track :dos 2)

Here are some calls with :KEEP-TIES as NIL (the default):

(with-track-best (:keep 1 :keep-ties nil) (track-numbers))
=> (values :TWO 2)

(with-track-best (:keep 3 :keep-ties nil) (track-numbers))
=> (values (:TWO :DOS :ONE) (2 2 1))

Here are some calls with :KEEP-TIES as T:

(with-track-best (:keep 1 :keep-ties t) (track-numbers))
=> (values (:TWO :DOS) (2 2))

(with-track-best (:keep 3 :keep-ties t) (track-numbers))
=> (values (:TWO :DOS :ONE :UNO) (2 2 1 1))
