Function: SB-EXT:PACKAGE-LOCAL-NICKNAMES

Returns an alist of (local-nickname . actual-package) describing the nicknames local to the designated package.

When in the designated package, calls to FIND-PACKAGE with the any of the local-nicknames will return the corresponding actual-package instead. This also affects all implied calls to FIND-PACKAGE, including those performed by the reader.

When printing a package prefix for a symbol with a package local nickname, the local nickname is used instead of the real name in order to preserve print-read consistency.

See also: ADD-PACKAGE-LOCAL-NICKNAME, PACKAGE-LOCALLY-NICKNAMED-BY-LIST, REMOVE-PACKAGE-LOCAL-NICKNAME, and the DEFPACKAGE option :LOCAL-NICKNAMES.

Experimental: interface subject to change.
