>> `set' is very bad style here.
> Out of curiosity, can you explain why setq is better then set?
- You can't make `set' lexically scoped.
- You can't (in general) analyse `set' to see if the variable was properly
declared, etc... so the byte-compiler can't make sanity checks
or optimizations.
- Basically `set' is in the same category as `eval' which is also
something to keep the few cases where nothing else works.
