If you have an application with one (or more) occurences of `_' as immediate subforms, then that application is rewritten into (lambda args the-original-application). It doesn't attempt to do a deep inspection of the term, or to expand the arguments to `#%app'. Thus: (+ _ 1) = (lambda (x) (+ x 1)) (+ (+ _ 1) 2) = (+ (lambda (x) (+ x 1)) 2) ;; which is a runtime error This rule is (a) simple and (b) the same as what Scala does. -- sam th sa...@ccs.neu.edu _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
