Subject: reduce, foldl, foldr
Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2007 19:16:30 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lk7m8dup.fsf@earthlink.net> (raw)
Hello,
I was surprised to find that `reduce' is part of cl.el but not core
elisp. I read about Richard Stallman's reservations about introducing
utility functions with keyword arguments because they complicate the
interface. I agree with this and wonder what the emacs maintainers
would think of putting `foldl' and `foldr' functions in core elisp
instead.
Thank you,
John Foerch
