I wrote a simple macro which takes a function, a list and calls that
function with arguments -- components of the list.
It looks like
(defmacro r (func lst) `(,func ,@lst))
and is used like
(r append ((list 1 2) (list 3 4 5) (list 6 7))) -> (append (list 1 2)
(list 3 4 5) (list 6 7)).
I wonder if there exists standard macro for this purpose? Ain't I
inventing the wheel?

Now, it's hardly a macro, is it?

No. I was trying to provide an answer to the question the OP really
wanted answered, and avoid some kind of autistic "do you want x or y?
yes" kind of answer. Next time I'll make sure this is more explicit.

Good point: the noob wants a macro to do the job, not a function --
they're a noob, they know what they are doing right? Hang on....

I don't find this funny.

Funnily enough, when I started reading this group, which wasn't so much
more than a few months ago, I thought that he was a complete
*unprintable*. Since then I've discovered that I actually find him one
of the more witty and interesting contributors. I still think he scares
the children, mind.

What Lisp needs is not diaper-changers for goofy noobs who put their
questions in the form of answers and/or offer to help us mop up the
parnetheses, nor does it need you old women sitting around clucking your
tongues about working Lisp programmers and open source contributors.
Lisp needs you and Pascal to STFU and get to work on Verrazano,
Rucksack, cl-sockets, or even <gasp> Slime. A text-to-speech library
would be fun as well. Clearly the big winner in that list is verrazano,
aka "Plug-n-play C/C++ libraries for Lisp", because it delivers all
those libraries in one fell swoop*.
Oh, sorry, that is work and would be useful and would involve talking
about Lisp. I understand, I always prefer talking about me, too.

What on earth makes you think I care what Lisp needs? My only care
here is for the needs of people who post to CLL, and in general what
they need is poking fun at.

Brilliant. Now that I have most of the regulars in my killfile you can
pick up the slack on them. I'll continue to savage the noobs.

While they are doing that perhaps you could actually document cells.

along with specific questions about specific parts you did not follow.

Yes, I am familiar with your "here is one example now go read
this guy's blog post" style of documentation. Very nice ;)

Thanks, but I was unclear. I really need the specifics, which URLs, and
which questions. Then I can point you to the ones you missed.
If you cannot be bothered, just admit it. Believe me, I know the feeling.

Yes. So the correct answer is: NO, there isn't.
