Subject: About `macroexpand'
Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2012 10:39:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121230103931.f8b844934dbcf3742fd34e21@gmail.com> (raw)

I wrote the following code:
(defmacro t-becomes-nil (variable)
  (if (eq variable t)
      (setq variable nil)))
(setq foo t)
(macroexpand '(t-becomes-nil foo))

The return value of `macroexpand' is nil.  I don't know why.  I think it should be:
(if (eq foo t)
    (setq foo nil)))

Can anybody help?

Best regards.
