ok, thanks, i will try to internalize that :-) i am not somebody who can point to languages i have defined and implemented, so i don't have any cred, but i think the requirement that the programmer know such details (like i have to know what is or is not a macro in the system at all times) is less than ideal for the end-user-programmer. sincerely. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
