Awesome! Sounds like another use case. I've implemented curly-infix in Common Lisp (it's an easy readtable mod), but we haven't implemented neoteric or sweet expressions in Common Lisp. Yet. That said, we have a Scheme implementation; it's likely to be not-so-difficult to transliterate that into Common Lisp. Would you be interested? Indeed, I'd be open to simplifying the Scheme implementation to make it easier to transliterate, help wanted if you're thinking about that too. I want the Scheme implementation to be "obviously right", not "so complicated I can't find the bugs". I think many people won't be willing to replace their reader until they think it's trustworthy. Speaking of which, I've restored some neoteric tests (there were defects in the tests, not the implementation, but I wanted to track that down). You can always add another test, but we have enough test cases that you can gain some confidence in the reader just from that. Having a significant test case makes it easier to refactor the code. --- David A.
