Why does the following function give
Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp bfname)
What can I do to fix this problem for the buffer name ?
(defconst buffer-name "BFTEMP")
(defun estring (string &optional bfname)
"Show STRING in a temporary buffer."
(or bfname (setq bfname buffer-name))
(with-output-to-temp-buffer bfname
(princ string)
(emacs-lisp-mode)))

I think the problem is with these functions
Where I use (mcode '(macro-adder (* 3 5) (* 5 7)))
macro-adder being a macro defined with defmacro
(defun mobject (object &optional bfname)
(or bfname (setq bfname buffer-name))
(estring (pp-to-string object) bfname))
(defun mcode (code &optional bfname)
(or bfname (setq bfname buffer-name))
(apply 'mobject '((macroexpand code) bfname)) )

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes, as in not a string (the `stringp' error).
