Hi. > split with a :regex (:re? both?) key would be good for you? I would choose `:regex`

What's the difference with `starts-with-p`. I'd prefer the common CL naming scheme for predicates.

I can have a look but some guidance would be helpful. I'd imagine it should be somewhere in core where the config is read, or?

Not sure if relevant. Ignore if not. I've implemented AtomicReference here: https://github.com/mdbergmann/cl-gserver/blob/master/src/atomic/atomic-abcl.lisp

Then maybe it's best to let it be and have 'optima' and 'trivia', separately. There would probably have been some synergies when both would merge. But if the merging costs...

> trivia does not have when and unless, a rather obscure optima featrue So the imcompatibility is mainly due to this? `when` and `unless` not available as guards in `trivia`?

The next versions opts out of dark mode for now. I think dark mode requires quite a bit of tweaking and this allows a bit more time for this.
