I will admit that I was going to respond with the same old "*sigh*" or a "What are you guys talking about" but instead; Ive thought, and thought about some of your responces. I was forced to read, and re-read. And I think I may finaly have an understanding. Are you ready for this. (This is what it all amounts down to.) I dosent matter. Not one bit. There is (or should be) any loss in prformance, speed, etc in the end.
As far as I can tell from my readings, the interpretor does not see a named abstraction as a 'name' during the evaluation process.
