heh, that's funny. That's how I originally used it. Then discovered it was a variable and changed the code and about a month later the variable is dropped and the function with the same name is still there. I'm getting dizzy.

Thanks for the heads up.

All the uses I see of this idiom treat it as a function. E.g., <http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoSave> says:

(defconst emacs-tmp-dir
(format "%s/%s%s/" temporary-file-directory "emacs" (user-uid)))
