Macros are harder to write than functions. For example, the macro you just wrote won't work on:
(with-surrounding-text (read_string_from_stream *standard-in*) (println "within surrounding text")) I personally really don't like writing macros. I try to stay away from it when I can. -Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
