I didn't say we should repeat what dolist does, so our interests don't necessarily conflict yet. I tried to explain earlier what I thought was missing, here it is again: > matching doesn't assign any values to anything directly related to > BODY, so the mechanism by which it affects execution of BODY needs > to be described. Could you please fill that void? This isn't a repetition of what dolist does. TIA
