Indeed; '*unspecified ain't the same as *unspecified, and it isn't magically evaluated after being lowered in a G-exp: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (map unspecified? (quote (*unspecified* *unspecified* *unspecified* *unspecified* *unspecified*))) $1 = (#f #f #f #f #f) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So in essence the idea to simply quote *unspecified* from patch v3 is flawed. v1 works though (using a symbol), so unless someone has a better idea right now I'm thinking that using 'unset instead of *unspecified* may be the simplest working solution. Thanks, Maxim
