It's a proclamation to human readers that the var is= really a constant. And if it's really a constant, then why test it (e.g. w= ith` unless')? Either you should > use `defvar' or you just do XYZ instead of > (unless modust-statck XYZ). No? You are right. Would work better if I can pass 'go or 'nogo to a function.= I would still need the "(unless param". With some "eq" declaration for 'nogo.
