Posted too soon -- browsing the new documentation I found the error-handler argument to agent. It took reading the source to find out that the supplied function should take two arguments, the agent and the exception. I don't see the rationale for the defaults -- wouldn't it be reasonable to report errors by default? -- but I can use this to get what I need. Sorry for jumping the gun on that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
