Welcome to Anaphora’s documentation!#

This library provides anaphoric constructs macros for Dylan, but what’s an anaphoric macro?

An anaphoric macro is a type of programming macro that deliberately captures some form supplied to the macro which may be referred to by an anaphor (an expression referring to another). Anaphoric macros first appeared in Paul Graham’s On Lisp and their name is a reference to linguistic anaphora — the use of words as a substitute for preceding words.
