Background: I'm playing with > the idea of letting users enter formulas for a small application (users not aware > of Scheme), and I think the ``classical'' syntax is easier to grasp for them. This would require more clever tokenizer (symbol splitting) than current implementation in infix.scm. How would you split 1-1e-1? I do not want to write another tokenizer - rather I would like to rewrite "read" to support lisp-like readtables and than configure it to enable "classical" identifiers. Any objections? (well, my diary say something about no spare time, but I try to fix that :-) 0. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
