| Summary: | The purpose of COMIT feature is to facilitate certain types of list manipulations in LISP II. This feature is a syntactic convenience, rather than an extension of the semantics of LISP. It permits the programmer to test directly whether a piece of list structure matches a certain pattern, and if so, to construct another structure utilizing subsegments of the original structure which matched parts of the given pattern. |
