Hi all, Thanks Bill for posting your results from my samples. Seems like we both get lots of warnings/errors from our REPL's, me even with 2021.02.01. I suspect there must be something going on with what the REPL is trying to print, after all it does want to display the results of every line. I haven't looked at that since the first post, was more interested in the capturing-or-not rules displayed by the code run from a file than tracking down the REPL output. Maybe I'll look into it again next weekend, need to get back to $work today!
Thanks Raiph for the continued examples, this one in particular showing how to get all nested captures worked for me. While I'm not sure I agree with the design, it is consistent, and perhaps I will internalize this over time.
