A very useful function for generating private environments is the
(gensym&optional x) in common lisp. It can replace in some places the
closures.
In Clisp it is defined in C something like this:
char*
gensym (char *x)
{
static int x;
char a[100];
snprintf(a, 100, "%s%d", x? x:"G", x++);
return strdup (a);
}
Does this function already exist in elisp ? I looked in the manual and did
not find it...
