Heh, I misstakenly pushed a send shortcut that mixed badly with emacs keybindings. Anyway the captured syntaxes is then inserted in their positions. There are a few caveats with the approach, see the code file in the repo for a discussion of that. > > (read-hash-extend #\_ syntax-closure-reader) > > Have you tried having your srfi-72 module export a binding for unsyntax?

I would like to be able to set this feature on per port bases just like we do with other reader features. Don't know to what a degree you need to do to achieve this. Is it something that a library can do? This relates to the previous question. Anyway I just thoght your thoughts and published a repo, https://gitorious.org/syntax-closures And I also suggeted to ijp to put it into guild-hall. Regards Stefan
