[net.lang] CLU example, Types, and Macros

knudsen@ihnss.UUCP (12/14/83)

Thanks for the CLU example.  Seeing that "rep" keeps getting replaced with
the array form reminded me that in C, at least, you can use macros to
let you write code without worrying about what type the variable(s) are.
However, mixing types (which will happen if you can't remember what you're doing)
will put you at the mercy of the built-in conversion conventions.
	Is it safe to assume that every programmer remembers what type
each variable is?  I hope so ....    mike k
