- timonoko 4y agoMy Bad. I have special nlambda, which does not evaluate anything at any stage. It was originally for testing macros without macroexpand, which expanded too much.
- timonoko 4y agoI have also nslambda, which take only one argument. I think the macro in some ancient lisp was also like that. My macroes are called mlambda because of this confusion.
