Strange macro behavior about lispyscript HOT 5 CLOSED

use rest... and ~rest... to dereference. rest... is a special case that will have the rest of the expressions bound to it. No need to use @ to dereference it.

Oh god, I figured it out. The name rest... is somehow magical. If I rename body... to rest... it works. Could you maybe document that somewhere?

It is documented in the let macro example in the macro docs. But yes I need to improve the docs though. Maybe not very clear. Thanks.

Happening to use the name "rest..." in an example is not the same as saying "the name rest... is treated specially". I read the example but just thought you picked "rest" because you felt like it.
