For example, using Lisp's interactivity, it's easy to test a new property you're working on without having to plumb it into your main deployments, which -might be large and relatively slow to run. Hit C-c C-c on your ``DEFPROP`` -form in Emacs, switch to the repl, and then use ``DEPLOY-THESE`` to run just -that property against localhost or a local container, until it does what it -should. For this purpose you can use whatever connection type is most -convenient -- perhaps you normally deploy using Consfigurator's support for -starting up remote Lisp images, but you can swap in a simple, lighter-weight -connection type for testing. +might be large and relatively slow to run.

We also have a few nice macros defined, though nothing too clever yet. |
