I wrote two set-adds? Ugh, I didn't mean to. That code wouldn't even work due to arity mismatch. (set-add res (let ([v v]) v)) is more likely. -Ian ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam Tobin-Hochstadt <sa...@ccs.neu.edu> To: J.

If you want to determine the behavior of the compiler, which is what matters for differences like extra `let` bindings, 'raco decompile' is the best tool. -- sam th sa...@ccs.neu.edu ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
