Re: [A doctor.el] Years old namespace conflict in doctor.el

Ar an seachtú lá déag de mí Lúnasa, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull: I’d suggest also replacing #'doctor-cadr and friends with their dumped equivalents, and #'doctor-replace with #'sublis (though the argument order is reversed). In general the namespace pollution can be avoided with #'macrolet and #'labels, but this doesn’t quite work for doctor’s #'// since the symbol is often stored deep in data structures in non-function context. macrolet would work fine for $, as it happens, and since you’re making huge whitespace changes anyway that’d be reasonable enough. Maybe change Fuehrer to use the umlaut, (»Führer«), now we’re living in the future and can handle non-ASCII? -- ‘Liston operated so fast that he once accidentally amputated an assistant’s fingers along with a patient’s leg, […] The patient and the assistant both died of sepsis, and a spectator reportedly died of shock, resulting in the only known procedure with a 300% mortality.’ (Atul Gawande, NEJM, 2012) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
