Re: [julia-users] Hygienic macros could be both better and simpler

[David Moon]

I should have said "*quote* special form implicitly accessed a symbol 
context created each time a *named* function is entered or a top-level form 
is evaluated."  Can't have anonymous functions implicitly create a symbol 
context or you can't use functionak programming inside of macros and you 
can't have control constructs that expand into anonymous functions.
