- ... On the other hand, writing the same symbol as "Foo" in one place
- and "foo" in another is just plain in bad taste....

- I love it. Earlier in this discussion there were people who wrote to say
- that they -like- to write code such as
-
- (define (FACT n) (if (< n 2) 1 (* n (fact (- n 1)))))
-
- in order to emphasize the definitional occurrence. So now you've labeled
- this as "bad taste". There is now no doubt that this discussion is going
- nowhere fast.
