Re: HIC lambda macros
I have a question about the proposed lambda macros: do they occupy the
function name space, or a separate name space? That is, can I have
a lambda macro and also an ordinary macro with the same name? Or
a function and a lambda-macro with the same name?
They occupy a different namespace. On the Lisp Machine, lambda macros
reside on the LAMBDA-MACRO property of their name. However, there is
a function-spec to reference them by, so you don't need to know this.
