Update: some testing indicates that that's not actually what happens. What appears to happen is that (def) is always defining when the code is read/compiled, no matter where in the source the def call is actually places (like in a function definition) it's just unbound until you assign a value to it (by "executing" the def form). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
