But what make the char `a' so special WRT char `1'?:

(defun foo (arg)
   (interactive "P")
   (pcase arg
     (1 (message "%s" "ARG was `1'"))
     (a (message "%s" "ARG was `a'"))
     ('- (message "%s" "ARG was minus-sign"))
     (_ (message "%s" "ARG not minus-sign"))))

The same thing that makes it different in "normal" Lisp code. 1 is read as an integer, not as a symbol.


Thanks all again!
