No offense, akkartik, but does this really need an entire topic for it? I just looked through the docs and found a useful function. It's not even a particularly complicated function: it just returns a function with a specific name. I do appreciate the attention, but if so, shouldn't we also make a topic for, say, "make-derived-parameter"? Or perhaps "string->uninterned-symbol"?
It seemed like something that people here would like to know about. I don't know if everyone reads on convore.
We've started posts to respond to comments before, just because the server deletes the reply button for old threads. I've started thinking of /newest and /newcomments interchangeably in such a small community, where sometimes a week passes without anything new. But I can change if others agree with you.
If you post about make-derived-parameter (and the slightest extra context about what it can do for arc) I'd be all ears. I have trouble making out shapes in racket's documentation thicket. The fact that pg/rtm don't seem aware of procedure-rename either suggests I'm not alone.
I think your discovery is important enough to warrant mentioning on the forum, since it is A) useful, and B) something that most people didn't know about. (At least, I knew about string->uninterned-symbol, but not procedure-rename).
