Thanks Dan, I am learning a fair bit today: a quoted number evaluates to its unquoted value, and the racket/format templates are available outside format (I had forgotten that).
I'm still trying to figure out why my original, terrible macro behaved the way it did, but I suspect I'll never know. I would have wasted a lot of time on that awful construct. I appreciate your help, many thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
