It's awkward. How about having `read-language' (or a variant?) somehow report where the specification after `#lang' or `#!' started? Currently, `read-language' implicitly reports the end of the specification by leaving the port position there; if it seems useful, we could make that more explicit at the same time.

Even "#;"...) That's where I always end up, too. A somewhat more restrictive syntax would work, but it wouldn't be especially simple. It's easiest to just use the syntax that we already have, even if it's a bit Scheme-centric. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-dev
