Great question. I doubt that it's feasible to automatically discover sugar, which I think is what you're really talking about. But a "Sugar" section for the docs could be very helpful. Something that lists all the stuff like ffirst. FWIW I've been at it for several years but I still tend to write (:foo (:bar baz)) instead of (-> baz :bar :foo), which is much nicer. gregg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
