Sure! Wholeheartedly agree :) (Though the term "dynamic scoping" is not right, IMHO. Instead, I would talk of "dynamic binding", because it is about the management of value assignments to variables/symbols, not about the accessibility/visibility of those symbols) BTW, those who advocate lexical binding are suspiciously silent when it comes to demonstrations of the power of dynamic binding. For example, I'm still waiting for lexical-bound Common Lisp or Scheme solutions in http://rosettacode.org/wiki/First_class_environments Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
