Hi Rainer,

Thanks for your comments.

Would you use this convention? No, of course you wouldn't.

I already use the with- convention.

Sorry I think there was some confusion. I myself like and use
all the conventions you mentioned above. I was only suggesting
that conventions shouldn't supersede proper naming of functions,
macros, or variables. Because with-open-file is named well, it
is easy to remember it is a macro.

I also understand why people like the earmuffs and have nothing
against their use. I was just trying to explain why I don't
use them.

....but as a book author you have a responsibility that goes beyond what you personally like and don't like...
