Re: [Gcl-devel] destructuring-bind problems

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  Actually, the current version was taken minimally from
cmulisp, without much knowledge at the time of how destructuring-bind
should work, but rather with the intention of retaining gcl's ability
to compile cvs maxima.  

If you could expand briefly on the possible use of defmacro and
macrolet, it would help me get a handle on this.

Take care,
