However, if you do read the one you quote very carefully, it says that it will apply *f* to the *argument list* formed as explained. This is exactly and unambiguously what it really does. I should also add that the learning process in Clojure involves the docs *and the repl*. There is hardly a more direct path to knowledge than just typing in a line of code and seeing the result. This is why I never really felt any frustration with the core docs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
