Subject: Programmatic let
Date: Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:28:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sj7kqm59.fsf@fimbulvetr.bsc.es> (raw)

My elisp foo is quite poor, so this might well be a completely stupid approach
to the problem.

I have a callback that gets automatically called, and uses some orgmode-specific
routines whose behaviour can be tuned through some customizable variables.

The usual approach in orgmode is:

  (let ((org-v1 ...) (org-v2 ...)) (org-func ...))

As my function is automatically called (as a response to the D-Bus message), I'd
like to let the user specify a let-like form to let her temporarily override the
behaviour of the `org-func' that my package invokes:

  (setq my-cb-org-vars '((org-v1 ...) (org-v2 ...)))
  (defun my-cb (...)
    (programmatic-let my-cb-org-vars
      (org-func ...)))

Is it possible to implement `programmatic-let'? And if so, can you throw me a
pointer to the appropriate docs?


Thanks,
  Lluis
