Oh, yeah ... I knew that, sort of. My example was derived from something I was recently working with in Scheme, which really did need to be a macro. I simplified it to try to design a minimal macro, failing to notice that it was now simple enough that it didn't need to be a macro. Heh. Anyway, thanks a lot for your thoughtful response, and to Slava and Kobi too. I'll study the examples. BTW, I would still like to see a precise definition of "static stack effect." -- Matt Gushee : Bantam - lightweight file manager : matt.gushee.net/software/bantam/ : : RASCL's A Simple Configuration Language : matt.gushee.net/rascl/ : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
