David, I think that Jim's point is that dotimes is a macro, not a method or a function, and yet the dotimes form is still being "modified" by doto before it is compiled and executed. The current documentation for doto says it does this for "methods and functions", but does not mention macros, which could lead one to infer (incorrectly) that doto does *not* make such modifications to macro invocations. I suspect Jim's concern would be addressed if the documentation for doto were made more accurate, e.g. in the sentence: "Evaluates x then calls all of the methods and functions with the value of x supplied at the front of the given arguments." replace the phrase "calls all of the methods and functions" with something like "evaluates all forms" Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
