I think it's only ambiguous if you used symbols in a _mixed_ list -- one with both plain symbols and cons-cells with a symbol as their car. If the elements of the list are consistently one or the other, the pattern (lambda (arg ...) ...) can never occur. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
