Francisco,
This is a follow-up to my previous post. To be logically correct, the
example I gave with a test function with named arguments had to be with the
order of arguments interchanged:
Function[{prev, this}, UnsameQ[this[[2]], prev[[2]]]]
instead of
Function[{this, prev}, UnsameQ[this[[2]], prev[[2]]]]
Sorry for the confusion.
Regards,
Leonid
