[parenscript-devel] How to generate element[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue

[Wout Perquin]

Hi Red,

It works on my version too (*)
It is a clean solution that I like a lot.
I did some tests and the slot-value operator is quite versatile.  In
fact it makes aref redundant because (slot-value foo 1 2 3) renders the
same as (aref foo 1 2 3).  

It also allows constructs like :
(slot-value foo 1 "two" three 'bar 1 2)
=> "foo[1]['two'][three].bar[1][2];" //not necessary meaningful but
possible :)  

I believe the versatility of slot-value should make it to the reference.

Many thanks.
Best wishes, Wout Perquin

(*) not sure what version I have, but the changelog youngest entry is
from Nov-4, 2007
