See, I *knew* there had to be a way to do it! Clearly I wasn't grokking the docs for dotrace. If the authors of of c.c.trace are amenable, I'm inclined to add this functionality to a variant of the c.c.logging/spy macro, something like: (spy [foo bar] (foo (bar [1 1 1]))) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
