[plt-scheme] eval and define

>> (define fcn  (gensym "p-"))

Hi Nik,

Here's a reworked example:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
> (define fcn (gensym "p-"))
> (eval `(define ,fcn (lambda () (+ 1 1))))
> (eval fcn)
#<procedure:p-3>
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;


That being said, what's the nature of the dynamically generated functions 
that you're building?  It might be that, if things are restricted enough, 
that you can do without eval.  Can you give us more details?


Good luck!
