This got me thinking. I've never seen a programming language that completely subsumed *everything* in Unicode, including canonical forms, bidirectionality, and everything else. I think reading a specification for such a programming language would be highly entertaining; even string=? in such a language could provide many hours of innocent rainy-day fun. I hope and expect that WG2 will NOT venture down this path, but perhaps the Perl or Ruby community could be prevailed to try it :) -- v _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
