1999-12-10 Thread mailinglists
Hi Eric, Empty? isn't a synonym for tail?, as far as I know. Your example is a weird construction, because if I try to test empty? with tail I do this: >> test: [1 2 3] == [1 2 3] >> tail test == [] >> empty? test == false Why do you do: > >> test-block: tail [1 2 3 4 5] It strikes me strange
