(Another point for avoiding a `zip` binding is that it's much more likely to collide with user defined functions than it is in other languages.) -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Racket Developers group.

I don't think we should add functions to TR that are not in Racket and that are not clearly type-related (e.g., `cast`). I also like Jens's solution better. Education vs crutches.
