Uh, am I missing something here, or is that an inappropriate use of &body? I would use &rest in this situation. Why don't you?
because with &REST Emacs would indent the bindings waaaay to the right (unless I put the name and args on a separate line, which is also not really plesant), so I've sort of grown used to use &BODY in such cases.
It's just that my gut reaction says that a list of function bindings is not a body, and so saying it is one seems disingenuous.
I think your gut reaction is right, if one is willing to discount the present realities of using Emacs and Slime. thanks, --m
