(define-module (language elisp runtime macro-slot)
  #:use-module (language elisp runtime))

; This module contains the macro definitions of elisp symbols.  In contrast to
; the other runtime modules, those are used directly during compilation, of
; course, so not really in runtime.  But I think it fits well to the others
; here.


; Define the conditionals when and unless as macros.

(built-in-macro when
  (lambda (condition . thens)
    `(if ,condition (progn ,@thens) nil)))

(built-in-macro unless
  (lambda (condition . elses)
    `(if ,condition nil (progn ,@elses))))


; Define the dotimes and dolist iteration macros.
; As the variable has to be bound locally for elisp, this needs to go through
; the dynamic scoping fluid system.  So we can't speed these forms up by
; implementing them directly in the compiler with just a lexical variable
; anyways.
