Hi Jon,

(defmacro dest-is-xvar-p (list)
`(eq ',list 'myvar-x1))

appears to do exactly what i want to do (i'm learning lisp and decided
to write a card game for emacs as an exercise)...

many thanks!

Suppose you do:

(setq otherlist-x1 mylist-x1)

(dest-is-xvar-p otherlist-x1)

Your macro will return false, is this what you want?
