It's the natural lisp way.
Well, one of Lisp's limitations is its syntactic uniformity. You get no visual clues from looking the symbols that make up a program about what that program means. Curiously, Lispers often tout this uniformity as an expressivity *advantage*, one that I just don't see. For maximum expressivity, I want lots of syntactic flexibility. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com The Astoria Seminar ==> http://www.astoriaseminar.com
