<pablo_escoberg> Hey all.  I'm having a hard time understanding how `test` works.  It appears the argument place holders are external symbols?  I'm trying to figure out why one of my tests is failing, and I can't seem to debug `test` because of that declaration.  How does that work?

<beneroth> pablo_escoberg, read the reference. The first argument 'any is for the expected test result, the rest is taken as 'prg. The return value of 'prg is compared to the expected result 'any using a similar logic as (match) (and normal comparison rules). So symbols and numbers are compared using (=) and lists get their elements compared. External symbols are not handled different than normal symbols.
