Subject: shorter form of frequently-seen lisp idiom?
Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2005 12:33:11 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1D2ZPj-0001FE-00@lab45.ma.utexas.edu> (raw)

Is there a shorter way to concatenate a list of strings
than this?

 (eval (append (list 'concat) list-of-strings))

Or more generally, 

 (eval (append (list 'function-that-acts-on-foos) list-of-foos))
