Now there is no error message. (BTW I was wrong about `cl-lib' not being needed to be required for `cl-loop', it does.) Here is the final (?) version. See, macros aren't that difficult! It only takes half a dozen of people to solve a problem one would think would be right up the macro alley... (defun syms-status (&rest sym-list) (mapcar (lambda (s) (list s (symbol-value s))) sym-list)) (defmacro vars-status (&rest sym-list) `(apply #'syms-status ',sym-list)) (require 'cl-lib) (require 'subr-x) (defun all-systems-ready () (interactive) (let ((report (vars-status message-yank-cited-prefix message-yank-prefix)) (output "")) (cl-loop for (var val) in report do (setq output (concat output (format "[%s] %s " val var))) ) (message (string-trim output)) )) ;; (all-systems-ready) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
