Hi,
I think anaphoric macros are a nice idiom; occasionally
they allow to write very concise and clear expressions.
AFAICS, in the Emacs tree they are just introduced
in ibuf-macs.el (`ibuffer-aif', `ibuffer-awhen').
To use these macros in Emacs code we must:
1) Define them again (code duplication).
2) Or require ibuf-macs, which it sounds not conventional.
It might have sense to move these general purpose macros
into a more visible location (subr.el or subr-x.el).
We might add other useful macros as well, e.g., awhile.
What do you think?
Tino
