A point about using macroexpand which I stumbled badly on yesterday is that macroexpand expands the macros your macro expands into. Well, of course it does. But it's been so long since I was learning a new macro syntax that I'd forgotten this. And when my rather simple macro expanded into a mess of let* and ifs I found myself staring blankly at it wondering what the heck I'd done wrong. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
