[Advertisement] And `guile-reader' would happily come into the picture to help solve (i), because it allows reader variants to be easily implemented (be it in C or Scheme) and combined with the rest of a reader. http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/guile-reader/ No more "pain", no need to endlessly argue and "wait until it filtered through a release"! :-) Thanks, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
