Re: [PATCH] Clojure-like syntactic sugar for an anonymous function literal

[samer]

Some parts of short-lambda's documentation is unclear to me. I have no 
experience with Clojure, so this is all from the perspective of someone 
new to short-lambda.

When '%1' is the highest-ranking argument, that means '%1' is the only 
argument, correct? I think this point will be more accessible if we 
don't rely on the reader knowing or correctly inferring what 
"highest-ranking" means, and use something along the lines of "when %1 
is the only argument" instead.

Auto-added to the list of arguments? Similar to my above point, it will 
be better if we can remove the dependency on "lower-ranking", and 
explain what we mean by that term (something like "all arguments with a 
smaller number than the argument with the largest number are included as 
part of the lambda's arguments, even if they do not appear in 
STRUCTURE").

Also, I don't know what FORMS means in this context, when the argument 
name is STRUCTURE.

I am new to emacs-devel, so I don't know how much weight my voice 
carries, but I support this being added to emacs core :)
