Subject: Symbols or strings as arguments
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2024 15:05:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YEUNvLtyjxQzEix73_I97QnGXV66wvL6w9QAQSgI-v30t37TmP2QtOlTpR3SLNh1dvdejbEpJegmCMmpZ-KpwoPpvLUWaPyGrhjJ9plySu0=@protonmail.com> (raw)


I wonder whether developers would preferentially use symbols rather than 
strings in arguments.  

Consider calling (cupola '(72 tabtrail local)) versus (cupola '(72 "tabtrail" "local"))
