Well, since the invention of macros, there's little reason to change the language and introduce incompatibilities. If you prefer shorter names, you can do: (defmacro dem (&rest args) `(defmacro ,@args)) (dem def (&rest args) `(defun ,@args)) (dem dec (&rest args) `(defclass ,@args)) (dem dek (&rest args) `(define-condition ,@args)) ;; ... -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Pour moi, la grande question n'a jamais été: «Qui suis-je? Où vais-je?» comme l'a formulé si adroitement notre ami Pascal, mais plutôt: «Comment vais-je m'en tirer?» -- Jean Yanne _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
