Subject: Feature request: Expose `ellipsis?' from psyntax.ss
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2018 14:16:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEYrNrTAeg_u3KAAo20PpKpgbjRR2xiVemCX4gTmm68ZVZeBBg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Guile includes a mechanism to specify a custom ellipsis for `syntax-case'
macros. For macro writers it would be nice if there were a way to check
whether a given identifier is the current (custom) ellipsis.

The `ellipsis?' procedure in psyntax.ss does exactly this, but it isn't
available to user code. Re-implementing it is not possible without
accessing internal details like the special identifier #{ $sc-ellipsis }#
and without resorting to hacks.

Thus, I would like to ask to add `ellipsis?' to the list of procedures
exported by Guile (like `identifier?` or `bound-identifier=?` already are).
