Guessing you mean [rm $1(
I also often use [list prepend foo]-[list trim] (which is the vanilla
equivalent of [prepend foo]) instead of [foo $1(, because, though for
one single "$1" value it is exactly the same, I consider it (rather
questionably) to be more elegant in that it works for messages of any
length.
Consider:
(some number)
|
[list prepend set]
|
[list trim]
|
(some numberbox)
and:
(almost any message)
|
[list prepend set]
|
[list trim]
|
[my message box(
I just like the fact they look the same.
Note however that the letter is not 100% general: "foo bar" and "list
foo bar" will both put "foo bar" into the message box.
Of course I don't know if Derek uses that for the same reason as I do :)
