| ;; Transparent Functions | |
| ;; I was experimenting with transducers and wanted a way to understand how they worked. Transducer | |
| ;; code uses many nested functions in various locations with other nested functions defined as local | |
| ;; variables in scope. Typically after an anonymous Clojure function is defined you have no visibility | |
| ;; into the locals that were in scope when the function was defined, where the function came from, | |
| ;; or the code in the function. I defined a macro, tfn, that creates a transparent function. It's | |
| ;; a normal Clojure function with additional metadata including the function code and local | |
| ;; variable names and values. |
