(let ((var (with-no-warnings (gensym)))) As well as being unclean, that doesn't solve the problem of gensym being undefined at runtime. `gensym' _only_ needs to be defined at runtime when gensym is going to be _called_ at runtime. I said that I still had to double check my alternative patch should it be needed. I did check in the `winner' case that `gensym' was _not_ called at runtime. I would strongly guess that this is the case with _all_ these calls to `gensym'. Clearly, I would have to _check_ that this is really the case. All of this only matters if there are real problems with Stefan's patch. Sincerely, Luc.
