True.

Thanks for explanation.
Is @ the only problem? How serious problem/inconvenience do you
consider it?
Would not it be possible somehow to rebind it again with some trick
along the lines of:
(de foo "Prg"
(when (car "Prg")
(run (let @ (up '@) (cdr "Prg")) ) ) )
Why this does not work?
Thank you,
Tomas
