Ouch, right. > or because there might be a binding of "eval" in an surrounding scope. I see -- which, specifically, might have been introduced after the fact via `with' or non-strict eval.

But I'm working on it. :) Anyway, thanks for pointing it out. /Andreas _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
