Originally, I had in mind something like: foo.el: (defvar global-var (lambda () ... code ...)) bar.el: ... (funcal global-var) ... and such, but now it occurred to me that the code will be evaluated at run-time, by which time foo.el will be compiled. If, on the other hand, you force the value of global-var to be open-coded, then the compiler will go ahead and compile it. I wanted to know what kind of oddities you might encounter. I think it might work. Unless someone points out something obvious that you and I are missing, of course. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever.
