Not having used them myself, I can't think of many good examples either. However, one in addition to the cache example would be an auto-incrementing identifier; something like a database sequence. It's semantics wouldn't change if there were gaps in the produced values as long as all ID's were unique. - J. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
