@licht1stein Again, I question the value of that workflow. Keeping old code in non-commented form, inside a macro, amidst code that is actually used, seems like a bad idea to...

Having read through those, here's another function that might be useful. It recursively finds symbols starting with `$`, sorts them, and makes them the lambda's arg list: ```el (defmacro -$...

Well, that's interesting. I also had no idea that fn.el exists and is in MELPA. However, I think the `` / ` ` syntax is awkward, and especially doesn't look...

@Luis-Henriquez-Perez Yes, and you could also use `--filter` to avoid having a defined `--dollar-symbol?` function. > Question: what's the reason for sorting the arguments? The intention was to use digit...
