+(def gen-binding
+"Takes two arguments: a symbol (use quote) and a string token
+  The symbol should coorespond to a binary on the path (else command will fail)
+  The string token is taken to be an argument to that command
+  A lambda is then made which accepts a list of additional arguments.
+  When called, the resulting function will construct and execute a call to load
+
+The point is to be able to autogenerate bindings for shell commands.
+Example: (eval ((gen-binding (q ls) '-l') ('-a')))
+     Or: (def gcommit 'shortcut for git commit -s -m <arg>
+           (lambda (arg) (eval ((gen-binding (q git) 'commit') ('-s' '-m' arg)))))"
+   (sym subcommand)
+   (let ((lam ((q lambda)
+               (cons (q args))
+               (cons let (((q func-call) (cons cons (q l) (cons q sym) subcommand))
+                          ((q arg-iter) (cons pop (q args))))
+                       (cons while (cons gt? (cons len (q arg-iter)) 1)
+                         (cons set (cons q (q func-call)) (cons cons (q func-call) (cons car (q arg-iter))))
+                         (cons set (cons q (q arg-iter)) (cons pop (cons cdr (q arg-iter)))))
+                       (cons echo '+ ' (cons cdr (cons pop (q func-call))))
+                       (cons eval (q func-call))))))
