It seems the name "append" has not yet been taken. How about we do this with Clojure:
1. add a new function "append", which splices multiple ordered collection together and always returns the result in the concrete type of its first argument. So: (append [1] '(2 3)) => [1 2 3] (append '(1) [2 3])) => (1 2 3) It is different from "concat" because it keeps the original concrete type. This will solve the "into" problem. and "into" still has its value because it works on non ordered collections too. 2. add another function "slice", which will return a segment of an ordered collection in its original concrete type. Something like this: (slice [1 2 3] 1 3) => [2 3] it may also take an optional "step" argument (like take-nth). If a post like this will get no attention from the Clojure gods, where should I submit the idea? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
