Subject: Why is `pop' not named `npop'?
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2024 05:28:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mst5yk6n.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)

Hi all,

the `pop' macro is destructive.  Why isn't it called `npop' then?  My
wild guess is that the `n-' prefix is only used for functions, not
macros, but is that really true?

Best,
