[iterate-devel] *list-end-test*

[Hoehle, Joerg-Cyril]

Hi,

I've pushed my *list-end-test* patches onto the repository.
This is my first online push, please watch it.

After Attila will have pushed the Texinfo documentation, I'll document the change.

Interesting idea, but that'll fail in precisely the case I mentioned:
(let ((iter::*list-end-test* #)) ...)
will shadow the global symbol macro and not complain.
So I have not added define-symbol-macro.
Do you still think that it's of great value in that case?

BTW, the destructuring + PREVIOUS bug reported by Kilian Sprotte is still in. I haven't managed to locate it so far.
