(To continue the digression into this particular case...) I had thought about destructuring, but found the need for qs and gs ugly. Really, a pattern matching library would be opportune. But since there's no such luck in Arc proper, it'd be ad-hoc and probably altogether not worth it (though not difficult to implement). I say this with respect to vanilla Arc; I don't know if Anarki has such a library. Still, it'd be hard to beat something like
(=fn my.deglobalize-var (var)
(zap expand var)
(or (check var anormalsym)
(when-match (global (quote ?inner-var)) var
(check ?inner-var anormalsym))
(err "An unrecognized kind of name was passed to 'deglobalize-var.")))
