Re: Symbol clashes: how to avoid them. Part 2

Oh, how I'm tired. Mixed everything. Pascal example would read as:

type PVariant = ^variant;
type statistics_slot_names = (unemployed, employed, total);
type statistics = record
lispy_slots : array[statistics_slot_names] of pvariant;
function slot_value(slot_name:statistics_slot_names); { returns a
pointer to slot }
end;

function
statistics.slot_value(slot_name:statistics_slot_names):Pvariant;
begin result:=lispy_slots[slot_name]; end;

If you use OO features, you might make the function virtual. Or you
make this function
dispatched via a dispatch table. Anyway, nothing unique. What makes
lisp powerful is:
1. GC (= safety)
2. defmacro, eval-when (= extensible compiler)
3. Native code compilation at runtime

Not an s-expressions.
