Say I have a list of arguments:
> (setf format-args `(t "it's ~a" 1))
(T "it's ~a" 1)
How can I then "splat" or "unroll" this into a series of arguments rather than a single list argument, for supplying to the format function? i.e I would like the following function call to take place:
> (format t "it's ~a" 1)
For reference, I would write the following in python or ruby:
format(*format-args)
I'm sure it can be done, but perhaps I'm thinking about it wrong. It also doesn't help that the name for this operation doesn't seem to be terribly well agreed upon...
