Okay, here's the public interface: define-module readable sweet-impl :export \\ . ; tier readers . curly-infix-read ; :: Port -> Object . modern-read ; :: Port -> Object . sweet-read ; :: Port -> Object . ; replacement . replace-read ; :: (Port -> Object) -> void -- replace the implementation's reader . restore-default-read ; void -- restore the implementation's default reader . ; testing . ; (compare-read-file foo-read "filename") . ; open the file named "filename", and read each expression . ; in the file using the implementation's default reader and the given reader . ; Returns three (values ...): The first it #t if the file is the same for . ; both built-in and the given reader, the 2nd and 3rd are the top-level . ; expression that failed to match, as read by the built-in (2nd) and . ; as read by the given (3rd) reader. On success the 2nd and 3rd . ; values are just '() . compare-read-file ; :: (Port -> Object) -> String -> (Bool, Maybe Object, Maybe Object) . ; like the above, but just the given string . compare-read-string ; :: (Port -> Object) -> String -> (Bool, Maybe Object, Maybe Object) As for the internal portability API, I think I also need to provide a portable way to replace the reader - witness the hackery that goes on to "seamlessly" replace Guile's reader on 1.6, 1.8 AND 2.0.
