Looking at this a little bit more, it appears pretty-print has its own mechanism for controlling reader abbreviations, in the form of pretty-print-abbreviate-read-macros. Oddly enough, setting this to #f still causes DrRacket to use abbreviations.
> (print-as-expression #f) > (pretty-print-abbreviate-read-macros #f) > (pretty-print '(1 ,2 3)) (1 (unquote 2) 3) > (print '(1 ,2 3)) (1 ,2 3) Anyway, I think it would be nice to have pretty-print respect the existing print-reader-abbreviations parameter, but since pretty-print-abbreviate-read-macros exists, that seems a little unclear. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
