Stephen, could you elaborate on this? My reading of the side-effect-free restriction was just that the predicate may be called on more elements than end up in the result, perhaps due to chunking or whatever. I'm not sure I see where there's any indication that take-while might call the predicate in a non-linear order - or is just one of those 'guilty by omission' situations? -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
