Before we declare a "0.7", I think we need to greatly expand the test suite to cover new functionality... and make sure the Scheme implementation passes, too :-).
The new Scheme implementation handles a lot - including real programs - but there are some edge cases and "new" functionality it doesn't handle: 1. It doesn't handle #u8(....), such as #u8(5 6 7). 2. It doesn't handle the new #!... variations. Basically, #!DATUM like #!sweet should be consumed (and ignored if it has no special meaning), "#!"+space is a SRFI-22 one-line ignored value, "#!"+ period or slash goes to matching "!#" (guile-like). 3. It has trouble with "." as the last *content* of a list. Which means that '. works, but (quote .) doesn't. That's weird, I think '. and (quote .) should mean exactly the same thing. Anybody who uses "." as a variable name should be taken out and shot, but we should *try* to be general, and we need '. at least to self-implement. Actually, we inherit this limitation from the SRFI-105 implementation; I think we should fix this, and post a fix in the SRFI-105 mailing list. Such a change would accept: (.) and (quote .) for example. But maybe I'm wrong; certainly (.) is not a common construct. I think I'll emphasize editing "tests/sweet-testsuite", which has "correct" followed by "test" value. Different implementations will print lists differently, so that makes it easier to use the same testsuite for different implementations. --- David A.
