Simplicity and uniformity. I have filed ticket #390 to allow \| in strings as well. That way, there can be just one escaping/unescaping procedure for both strings and symbols. -- John Cowan <[email protected]> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan One time I called in to the central system and started working on a big thick 'sed' and 'awk' heavy duty data bashing script. One of the geologists came by, looked over my shoulder and said 'Oh, that happens to me too. Try hanging up and phoning in again.' --Beverly Erlebacher _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
