Thanks for the suggestions, walking the structure seems like the way to go. > This being said, Clojure is dynamically typed for a reason.

Well, I only want to enforce duck-typing :-) - for instance, make sure via unit tests that a function that should return a data structure with certain properties always returns such a data structure. I'll try to formalize my fuzzy ideas as code. Thanks for giving me some starting points. -- Miron Brezuleanu --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
