What if we added another reader option, say, (keywords > 'postfix), which would recognize SRFI-88-style keywords? Looks like a good idea. I tend to think we would not add it in 1.8, or at least not in 1.8.4, so that the reader can stabilize before we break it again. :-) Thanks, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
