Anonymous implies there might be some sort of auto gen going on (as there is with anonymous functions), Irrelevant has my vote therefore. The other characteristics are a side-effect of it being a naming convention (with no official support by the compiler). yeah, i could go either way, although i might change "var" to "arg" - is '_' ever a var? actually i'm thinking "nonce arg" would be more accurate, but then i'm a naming fanatic so take it with a grain of salt. Maybe that could be pointed out in greater detail. So maybe an edit along the lines of: "Note: _ does not have special functionality in the compiler, it is seen the same as any other local or arg, therefore the same rules of uniqueness and precedence apply with _ as they would with any other symbol" i might not understand the rules but my understanding is that '_' (as an arg) is outside of the uniqueness (obviously) and precedence rules. i'm not understanding the point of your suggested edit, i guess. thinking from a newbie perspective. are you saying that each '_' gets a gen-sym, so each ends up being unique? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
