Cute. But there seems to be a mistake in the definitions of lambda
and lambda* - they have the same definitions and expansions in terms
of core:lambda.
Shouldn't lambda be:
(lambda <pat> <body> <body> ...)
and be equivalent to:
(core:lambda id
(match id
(<pat> <body> <body> ...)))
Also, the descriptions seem wrong. I would expect:
lambda, which is useful for creating a function of zero or more
arguments which matches its arguments taken as a list against a pattern
and
lambda*, which is useful for creating a function of one argument which
matches that argument against one or more patterns
for compatibility with traditional lambda.
