Is it possible to put a fixed value in the body?

[linwaytin]

It is usual for me to run a function taking fixed arguments with hooks, like

 (add-hook 'evil-insert-state-entry-hook '(lambda () (hl-line-mode 1)))

This is not bad, but I think the lambda () is kind of unnecessary, as the main purpose here is to run the function with an argument.

Can llama help with this issue? Thanks.

Yes, these are equivalent:

(add-hook 'evil-insert-state-entry-hook (lambda () (hl-line-mode 1)))
(add-hook 'evil-insert-state-entry-hook (##hl-line-mode 1))

Enjoy!

(note lambdas are self-quoting, so there is no need to put a quote sign out front)

Great! Thanks a lot.

I think this macro should be built-in in elisp. The readability is increased a lot!
