Hi,
I've got two questions regarding meta information.
Question 1:
I can say
(def x1 (with-meta [] {:m 1}))
or
(def x2 ^{:m 1} [])
and will get my map back with either
(meta x1)
or
(meta x2).
But when I do
(def y1 (with-meta 'a {:m 1}))
(def y2 ^{:m 1} 'a)
only
(meta y1) spits the map back at me,
(meta y2) evaluates to nil.
What am I doing wrong ?
Maybe the meta info is attached to (quote a) and not to the symbol,
because
that is "the next form read" ?
Question 2:
The following is, of course, an extremely silly thing to do,
but I can't help myself:
When I say
(def z1 (with-meta [] {}))
and
(def z2 ^{} [])
again,
only
(meta z1) gives me my content-rich meta information back,
but
(meta z2) returns nil.
What am I missing ?
Thanks for your help,
Heinz.
