Unfortunately for you here, Clojure's macros expand from the outside in on arguments (so, if foo and bar are macros, (foo (bar x)) will first call foo with '(bar x), rather than call bar first, then call foo with the output of bar). So the only way to do this is to fork dataflow and change the macro in your fork, or to resort to eval: (eval `(the-macro ~(my-name-generating-expr) whatever-else)) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
