Hello, I was looking through http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ideas.html and the gettext support. I thought this would be a small fun thing to hack on but apparently it is already implemented as of quite some time.
For convenient use doing something like (define _ gettext) is recommended. The #"text" syntax that the above page proposes is more concise and in my opinion quite nice, so I did the below and stuck it in boot-9.scm: (read-hash-extend #\" (lambda (c port) `(gettext ,((module-ref (resolve-interface '(ice-9 rdelim)) 'read-delimited) ;; FIXME skipped quoted \" "\"" port)))) Should we include sth like this? -Tobias
