How about prefixing a tilda (~) instead of "current-"? It looks like a current ;P and also like a snake (parameters could be thought to ``snake'' through the code). Alternatively the at-sign (@) to represent currentness. To make them stand out more (if that is desirable) the same symbol could be postfixed as well. In conclusion, some options are: ~error-port @error-port ~error-port~ @error-port@ Just some random thoughts, Marijn -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk+n4hUACgkQp/VmCx0OL2xyCgCfVhr3/gHu/n0bdRTaCPVaILz7 dOwAnjf1HbYc0nBy/hnqWax9C1AQE765 =qgJq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
