Topic: regapp

[curmudgeon]

to use my own private set of extended data I

Code: [Select]

(regapp "rak")
while I have seen examples which would look more like this:

Code: [Select]

(if (not (tblsearch "APPID" "rak")) (regapp "rak"))
?

is it just sloppy, and therefore bad form, to simply register each time the lisp runs?
from what I read, if it was already registered, regapp simply returns nil.

so, is there any justification for what I would call the overhead of a tblesearch, pass to a not, pass to the if, and finally, pass that result, if T, to the then?
