I disagree, especially for "reads better" (which is by far the
most important, both for author and other readers). But maybe
you like adding `progn' everywhere. Eye of the beholder...
The important thing is that you can use your "lispier" style,
and I can use my "lispier" style. Nothing prevents you from
writing:
(progn (setq foo bar)
(setq tatasaba tutuwimbo)
(setq toto titi))
if such is your wont. Just as nothing prevents me from writing:
(setq foo bar
tatasaba tutuwimbo
toto titi)
to get the same effect.
There is zero reason to not allow `setq' to make multiple
assignments. That's the point.
