I rest my case: you're confusing variables and symbols. Symbols are fundamentally nothing more than hash-consed strings.Symbols are created by the lexer, not by the evaluator, so insertion into a big obarray only affects the performance of the lexer/parser. Stefan
Thanks, I guess I understand a bit more. Just out of curiosity: Does the lexer/parser know that it is a let variable at the time the symbol is inserted or is that information only available later to the evaluator?
