Also, `length-sym' doesn't have to be an uninterned symbol here. You
use lexical-binding anyway (by referring to the value of the (interned!)
symbol named "length-sym". You don't even have to use a symbol with a
unique name. Just use a simple (lexical) variable for the length,
e.g. `advice-length', and
(message "This function's name had length %s." advice-length)
etc. (your piece of advice is a closure!).
Michael.
