This seems to be what Common Lisp does, or am I missing some subtlety?


It seems they're trying to formalize what Common Lisp and other languages do.


It was also a suggested addition to ECMAScript 4, although I think it's out now.



I notice that they left Objective-C out of their examples, which is curious because of how close it is to what they're advocating.
