I forgot to add that I've used Perl a lot, which does *try* to do free- style ordering, and it ended up with a system that works most of the time, but is really not easy to figure out when it doesn't work, and even adding "declare" style statements don't always work like you want to. I really prefer an enforced order with *reliable* declarations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
