    Fake-event

    Execute an event form without affecting the world.

    Usage:

    (fake-event <form>)

    where <form> evaluates to an event form. This causes that event form to be run, but without affecting the logical world. Fake-event returns the same error-triple that the event form produced. The logical world resulting from that event's success or failure is saved in the state global fake-event-saved-world.

    Fake-event is a bit like make-event, in that both are macros that evaluate a form to obtain an event, then run that event. Actually, fake-event doesn't evaluate the form itself (it macroexpands to a call in which the form is not quoted, so that it is evaluated before fake-event-fn operates upon it.) It then calls the resulting event using a make-event inside an LD.

    Unlike make-event, fake-event can only take a form that evaluates to a single value, not an error triple. But fake-event-er is a simple wrapper for fake-event that supports an error-triple-valued form.

    If the event produces a hard error, then fake-event will also produce a hard error unless the keyword argument :hard-error-ok t is given. If :hard-error-ok is set, fake-event returns (mv :fake-event-ld-error nil state).
