[Function] USE-CONFLICT-PACKAGE:

An alternative CL:USE-PACKAGE function. USE-CONFLICT-PACKAGE enables USE-PACKAGE'ing any packages which have conflicted external symbols.

e.g.

(defpackage :foo
  (:shadow #:car)
  (:use :cl)
  (:export :car) )
(in-package :foo)
(defun car (obj) ...)

(in-package :cl-user)
(ppu:use-conflict-package :foo)
(symbol-package 'car) ; => #<PACKAGE FOO>

You can also specify to-package for USE-CONFLICT-PACKAGE optionally.

e.g. (ppu:use-conflict-package from-package to-package)

[Function] PACKAGE-SHORTEST-NAME:

Returns shortest name or nickname of given package designator.

e.g. (ppu:package-shortest-name :common-lisp-user) ; => "USER"
