[cl-emb-devel] Mode of generation - to string or to stream

		Hello.
	Till now, there was no way to make CL-Emb not store the entire
processed text in memory while generating. When trying to use CL-Emb to
generate a document of size greater than 100MB, it is quite unfortunate.

	As the main part of generating code is generated through a string, I
committed a dirty workaround: one can set a variable (which defaults to
"with-output-to-string (*standard-output*)") to implement some other
kind of redirection.

	It works OK for rare uses.

	My questions are:
	1) Is anyone else still using cl-emb? I will maintain it anyway, I will
try to fix bugs reported to the mailing list etc, but I wonder whether I
am the only user.
	2) Does anyone else need such a bypass?
	3) What would you like to get from such a feature?
