- The following definition of <code>multirember</code> makes use of <code>letrec</code> instead of <code>Y</code>, because the definition of <code>mr</code> inside makes use of <code>mr</code> recursively itself. A normal <code>let</code> would not work here. The recursive <code>mr</code> is then returned and applied to <code>lat</code>, a list of atoms. This chapter introduces <code>letrec</code>.

- The text has objections about the fact, that <code>union</code> is always called with 2 arguments, the 2 sets to build the union of, although <code>set2</code> never changes. It argues, that one can make the recursive calls simpler, by capturing <code>set2</code> outside of the recursive part.

- The text also notes, that <code>union</code> relies on <code>member?</code>, which is implemented elsewhere. <code>union</code> serves as an example. <code>member?</code> or <code>member</code> is usually implemented in Scheme dialects, so it will not suddenly change. However, if it were a function, which were to change for example the order of its arguments, then we would have to adapt <code>union</code> and all other functions depending on <code>member?</code> as well. For this reason, the text argues for internalizing the definition of <code>member?</code> inside of <code>union</code>.

- Maybe instead of defining a whole <code>member?</code> inside <code>letrec</code> one could make a minimalistic wrapper for the <code>member</code> function already defined in Scheme. This way we would not reimplement things which are already in our language:

- <p>
- The book has a bootstrapping approach, so it opts to implement <code>member?</code> inside <code>union</code>. A disadvantage of that is, that it cannot be separately unit-tested. Perhaps the philosophy there is, that encapsulation is more important than tests.
