Stylistically, I'm not sure I'd want to *do* that intentionally, but closing out things on EOF isn't insane. At least we don't get "stuck". That does cause us to lose the ability to detect runaway collecting lists; is that loss worth it? That's trivial to do in the Scheme implementation. A complication: I'm not sure how to do that in the ANTLR implementation. It's easy to define symbol pairs, but handling EOF this way might be tricky. I guess the lexer could count <* and *>, and emit extra *> if needed. --- David A.
