This is not a huge deal, and probably a bit out of the order we discussed. I started thinking about pattern matching yesterday, though, and I was trying to do the simple example in fare-matcher (a simple modification of what's in the docs): (defun test-match (param) (fare-matcher:match param (:ping (print :pong)) (:quit (print :bye)) ((:add a b) (print :add))))
Matching with the simple symbols ping and quit works just fine, but things go south when trying to match with add and bind a and b. I was attempting to do: (test-match '(:add 1 2)) But something is wrong in the macroexpansion. Am I even using my test-match function properly? Does match handle quoted sexpr properly or was I just masking this problem with :ping and :quit by handing it symbols that evaluate to themselves?
Also, since I believe both authors are on the list, should I consider using cl-match instead? Or are our pattern matching requirements so minimal that a) it does not matter and b) we could even roll our own ala some of the Norvig examples?
