Works for me! I also often want to use a returned list without splicing, which is another use I had in mind with the proposed '_', e.g. : (macro (2 4 _(mapcar '((X) (+ X 2)) (4 6)))) -> (2 4 (6 8)) but the better way to do that is probably : (macro (2 4 (^(mapcar '((X) (+ X 2)) (4 6))))) -> (2 4 (6 8)) Thanks, Erik
