Clojure's reader strips them out while parsing before compiling the function, so you would lose them during the first round-trip of read and print. Even a macro doesn't really solve this problem; the only possible solution is to accept comments that aren't really comments because the reader sees and preserves them, or decide that they aren't an important part of the function definition. I'm sure there are other hang-ups (closures are probably another) but this is the first one that comes to mind for me. — Daniel Lyons --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
