Hello all, In section 4.2.7, the R6RS specifies a very strange escape sequence in string literals:
<intraline-whitespace><line-ending><intraline-whitespace> -> nothing where the definition of <intraline-whitespace> is <character tabulation> | <any character whose category is Zs> <character tabulation> is just TAB. Zs is the space separator category. What is this for? If it is for multiline indented strings, it seems to be missing a + in the spec; otherwise it just specifies one whitespace char, one line ending, and one whitespace char. It looks terrible, frankly, and I am not inclined to merge a patch to implement this. But if there is a good reason, I could revisit this choice.
