OK, I'll take a look at that. Actually, if this were to ever become an accepted default, the real change would have to be in the reader, so as to enable call-site hinting (e.g. (.toCharArray s:String). But, I'm definitely not going to open that can of worms at the moment (and it wouldn't be as simple and unobtrusive as the alternative entry point you suggest). - Chas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
