My advice on nesting syntax quoting: Don't. Whether it's actually malfunctioning or just confusing you, I'd recommend separating each layer of syntax quoting into a layer of helper functions. For instance, say you want to make a macro that emits macros. Write the emitted macros first, as a parametrized helper function that emits a defmacro form, then write a macro that will call this with parameters derived from its arguments and emit the results. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
