I'd rather have return-from in Emacs Lisp than nothing, but I do think the potential for confusion with, say, freturn, is pretty minimal. It does what you'd expect from almost all other languages -- return from the current function. I don't think this is a very important point, so I won't argue it further (after this message), but if we have to possibility to add a new language feature, I think we're slightly wasting an opportunity if we don't make the new language feature as compelling as possible. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
