Subject: bug#13644: String read syntax should allow "\(" to mean "("
Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2013 10:12:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r4kslc6z.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
Rationale: GUILE already supports a number of escapes not defined in the
Scheme standard. Emacs Lisp modes and derivative modes treat opening
parens in the first column of a file specially, resynchronizing function
boundaries. The respective manual entry states:
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Left-Margin-Paren.html>
Being able to escape opening parens makes it possible to write
Emacs-friendly Guile code.
