I think the docs should be fixed to refer to "logical false" like other parts of the documentation, instead of "nil". e.g.: (find-doc "logical false") [...] clojure.core/when-not ([test & body]) Macro Evaluates test. If logical false, evaluates body in an implicit do. nil -- Michael Wood <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
