"incoherent" means in conflict with oneself. > so coherency is probably not a great argument for keeping things as is. You can do (define sym (let ((n 0)) val)) however. Including replacing val inline with a lambda expression making use of a lexical capture of n. You can also do (define sym #f) (let ((n 0)) (set! sym (lambda () ... n ...)) There is also letrec and various other things, all of which we don't have available for the somewhat complex semantics of actually defining a named markup function. https://codereview.appspot.com/577720043/
