Scheme Request for Implementation 258, "Uninterned symbols", by Wolfgang Corcoran-Mathe, is now available for discussion.
Its draft and an archive of the ongoing discussion are available at https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-258/. You can join the discussion of the draft by filling out the subscription form on that page. You can contribute a message to the discussion by sending it to [email protected]. Here's the abstract: An uninterned symbol is not the same as any other symbol, even one with the same name. These symbols are useful in macro programming and in other situations where guaranteed-unique names are needed. A lexical syntax for uninterned symbols is described, allowing uninterned literal symbols to appear in program source and macro templates. A survey of uninterned and uniquely-named symbols in Scheme is also provided. Regards, SRFI Editor
