The guile repl includes some magic commands and handles them specially. Unfortunately, it makes assumptions that the sweet reader falsifies. It'd be nice to find a way to invoke these commands directly... and then perhaps their ease could be restored. Here's what I know so far: Guile's source code can be viewed on savannah's git page, e.g.: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git;a=tree;f=module/system/repl;h=c767baf098d5dde0cb396eabcd6c40482608846c;hb=93e838423cba836fd90662f9acd362ddf3aa6fb1 The repl is implemented in "module/system/repl/", especially file "repl.scm". I suspect that procedure "meta-reader" is a key player. I haven't spent much time looking to see if there's a way to invoke the meta-commands more directly, but it *seems* like it should be possible! > Also, sweeten suggests that the solution would be ",h\n-c\na\n", but > both unsweeten and guile-sweet output before all three lines have been > input, and unsweeten does not collapse them onto the same line. > > I'm not sure how one could work around it or even if it's something > one could solve within the spec, but it just bit me, so I thought I'd > mention it.
