Heya guilers! I just packaged a small package to enable a reader extension #. that should be a replacement of #, in #` syntactic forms.
The #. form will pick up the sourunding syntactic environment inside any #` forms specified e.g. consider Example (from the srfi-72 documentation): (use-module (ice-9 syntax-closure)) (let-syntax ((main (lambda (form) (define (make-swap x y) (quasisyntax (let ((t #,x)) (set! #,x #,y) (set! #,y t)))) (quasisyntax (let ((s 1) (t 2)) #.(make-swap #`s #`t) (list s t)))))) (main)) ==> (2 1) In this example #`s will refer to the let bound 's' which is not the case if we instead would have used #, #`s would refere to an outer 's' If we instead had used #, the swap would not happend.
