Yes, this was a deliberate move away from the no-duplication style used in the professional documentation, for pedagogical reasons. At each language level, I gathered in a separate section called "Common Syntax" the forms that that level has in common with the previous level. The idea is to make it possible to get a quick sense of of the commonality between the levels, while giving the students confidence that documentation page they are looking at is comprehensive. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
