If one is ok, the other is ok. The # syntax has the small advantage of being a little shorter. The $ syntax can be implemented now with a macro -- but if we want this feature, I see no reason to hesitate to do implement it in the reader, no need to use a macro. It would not be a lot of work to do that. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
