2 Systems

The main system appears first, followed by any subsystem dependency.

positional-lambda

Previous: Systems, Up: Systems [Contents][Index]

2.1 `positional-lambda`

positional-lambda is a concise, intuitive and flexible syntax (macro) for trivial lambdas that eschews explicit (and often contextually-redundant) naming of parameter variables in favor of positional references, with support for a used or ignored &rest parameter and automatic declaration of ignored parameters when logical "gaps" are left in the positional references. Further convenience features are provided.
