Subject: Actions using symbols
Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2024 12:30:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <FweVOlGC3RH7MxpmSncVG4qbdRYSaBmIR_8UcfqAlLl2RP8V14LORu0L-a2ThLmEJdl6pDXXYq9bp46rINBA64caoiANSqGD0GjIic--vJg=@protonmail.com> (raw)

I customarily make symbols that I can check on as conditionals

(defun myfunc (actn)
  (when (eq actn 'something) dothis)

Would things go wrong should I start using function names as arguments
For instance, myfunc would use a mapcar implementation when ACTN is
'mapcar and an apply-partially implementation when ACTN is 'apply-partially

(defun myfunc (actn)
  (when (eq actn 'mapcar) dothis)
  (when (eq actn 'apply-partially) dothat)
