> 1. Is there a way to make `namespace-set-variable-value!` "shadow", generally?
It looks like the answer is "no", if I were to actually RTFM: "Sets the value of sym in the top-level environment of namespace in the base phase, defining sym if it is not already defined." Last 6 words = No. > 2. If not, how can I at least shadow a specific symbol, such as `date`? Looks like it must be done this way -- excluding racket/base's `date` from the namespace in the first place. Ordinarily this would be easy. e.g. If in template.rkt I add `(require (except-in net/url get-pure-port))` and make a template variable `'get-pure-port`, that works. There's no collision because it's not in the namespace to begin with (at least I think that's why). But `date` comes from racket/base, which is on the #lang line. As a result, I think my question is actually, "How to do the equivalent of an `except-in` for #lang racket/base"?? 1. Am I asking the right question? 2. If so, what's the answer? ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
