[cl-pdf-devel] switching to binary format

Hello,

I'm considering to switch cl-pdf to a binary format to avoid all those
character encoding problems. Dmitri Ivanov has already started in that
direction but it's for LW only. Has anybody else done similar modifications
for other Lisp implementations ?

The binary format can be a problem for all the text parts written by
#'format and #'write-string. Also I don't want to have a performance hit by
manually converting strings to byte arrays.

Any opinions on this ?

Marc
