That's one of the things that makes me crazy.  LISP people go on and on
about LISP's lack of syntax and then they have 2 different functions for
assigning a value to a variable and they are both very fussy and take
DIFFERENT parameters and no one will ever explain the difference.

I haven't even tried to get a function that takes an arguement to work
yet.
