Hmmm... if one can write a macro that expands to a LOCALLY form in the same place and for the same reason as would might've done with DECLARE, then what is the point of having disallowed one from writing a macro that expands into a DECLARE <http://tinyurl.com/6v4v3> http://tinyurl.com/6v4v3? <shrug> I suppose it doesn't matter; it does seem better to be able to write a macro that conditionally expands into different values of optimization settings than use read time evaluation. I'll try riffing off of this GBBopen approach. -- Damien Kick
