A crock? Now that I've got that macrology out of the way, does not (my-add-hooks (emacs-lisp lisp lisp-interaction) (fun foo)) look better than (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (fun foo))) (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (fun foo))) (add-hook .... I think it does :) Lowell David Kastrup wrote:

What are you hoping to achieve that you would not be better off doing by a proper function instead of a macro?
