Alright, I’m finally taking a look at this (and looping the users list back in). I think, unfortunately, your (Alex’s) change isn’t quite sufficient: having access to the get-info function isn’t enough. The read and read-syntax functions need access to the lambda returned by the base language’s get-info procedure, not the wrapper function that accepts an input port.
I just tried my hand at this, and I managed to get a hacky solution working. I’ve put my version in a gist here: https://gist.github.com/lexi-lambda/12b3c23d58937ce66fff03be2adb6e99 The above code is almost identical to make-meta-reader from syntax/module-reader, but the read-fn function is altered to pass both the underlying read or read-syntax function AND the result of -get-info to the convert-read function. You can see this on line 65 of the above gist. The interface is still pretty bad, since it requires that users of the function accept both arguments, so I’d want to clean it up a lot before putting it in a package somewhere. I don’t have any immediate plans to do that yet, though, so somebody might find some use for this code in the meantime. I’ve successfully used this code to implement a language extension that uses the result of a base language’s get-info function to direct how reading should work.
