Hello,

I use something like this:
(define-syntax vhash
(syntax-rules (=>)
"Build a vhash with the given key/value mappings."
((_)
vlist-null)
((_ (key others ... => value) rest ...)
(vhash-cons key value
(vhash (others ... => value) rest ...)))
((_ (=> value) rest ...)
(vhash rest ...))))
Of course that doesn’t fill the exact same role as a reader syntax since
it doesn’t allow you to transfer a vhash over the wire, but for cases
where you only want to define a literal vhash, I find it “good enough.”
Thanks,
Ludo’.
