Thanks, I am well aware of Greg’s work even though I forget it too often. My introductory lectures to the macro system at the Racket summer school ended up following the same path (w/o remembering Greg’s write-up). @ George: Yes, do read Greg’s post. And you may find the lectures Matthew and I gave at the Racket school useful too. Still, we ought to be able to do much better — Matthias -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
