;; GENBIND

(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))))))
     (eval lam)))
