Very minor. This was actually intentional. I had a pre-release version where those brackets were optional, but the doc-string could still be specified. But I was worried this would be too confusing since it meant that if you then inserted the parent vector, that would have to come before the doc-string, but the args vector would have to be inserted after. (deferror *foo* "Foo Error") (deferror *foo* [*bar*] "Foo Error") (deferror *foo* "Foo Error" [arg1]) (deferror *foo* [*bar*] "Foo Error" [arg1]) And perhaps worst, if you got it wrong, I may not be able to detect the mistake: (deferror *foo* "Foo Error") (deferror *foo* "Foo Error" [*bar*]) (deferror *foo* "Foo Error" [*bar*] [arg1]) ; oops That last line would be using [*bar*] as the arg vector and [arg1] as the error object definition. ...anyway, that's reasoning behind requiring at least placeholder empty brackets before the doc-string. But I'm open to being persuaded otherwise. Perhaps allow no parent vector if there's also no doc-string? Oh, and by the way with an empty or missing parent vector, the error would still be derived from kit/*error*. > Will provide feedback on restarts when I get there. Great! But they're called continues. :-) Seriously, if you think "restart" is a better name I'm willing to consider changing it. But Clojure already has retries in transactions, where code is actually re-run from the beginning. A "restart" doesn't re-run anything, it just skips forward over a certain number of returns and runs an alternate branch of code. "continue" seemed a better description of that to me than "restart". --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
