Been thinking about the concept of "complected" (popularized by @richhickey), and I'm not convinced that complecting is always a bad thing.
E.g. this article: lispcast.com/complex-syntax points out that "Lisps complect function calls and macro calls". Seems to miss the point, IMO.
I mean, Functions complect control and binding! Cars complect locomotion and shelter!
The trick is figuring out what things should be wrapped together, and how -- not to "de-complect" until all functionality is indivisible.
