-We define a package with the name ''cram-tutorial''. Packages in Common Lisp can have an arbitrary number of nicknames. In our case we nickname ''cram-tutorial'' as ''tut''. Finally, we define that the package uses another package ''cpl'' which is the nickname of a package of the CRAM Plan Language. Please note that most Common Lisp packages actually use the package ''common-lisp'' which exports all symbols of the Common Lisp standard. The packages ''cpl'' and ''common-lisp'' cannot be used together because the CRAM Language re-defines some of the symbols of the ''common-lisp'' package and thus ''cpl'' and ''common-lisp'' would conflict.+We define a package with the name ''cram-beginner-tutorial''.
