+;;; dotted.el --- Working with dotted pairs in Elisp -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Part of my primitives library extensions in Elisp.  Contrast my primitives
+;; with the wrapper extensions that I provide, which expose immutable variants
+;; of data structures like an list, alist, tuple, as well as quasi-typeclasses
+;; like sequence, etc.
+
+;;; Code:
+
+(require 'prelude)
+(require 'macros)

+(defun dotted/instance? (x)
+  "Return t if X is a dotted pair."
