Its meaning is specifically left up to the implementation. Apostrophe is neither a <subsequent> (required to be treated as part of the identifier) nor a <delimiter> (required to be treated as not part of the identifier). Its general category is Po, which means that in R6RS and R7RS implementations are explicitly allowed to treat it as part of the identifier. <http://trac.sacrideo.us/wg/wiki/QuoteDelimiter> reports what Schemes actually do. Only a few of the major implementations actually allow x'x as an identifier. -- Only do what only you can do. John Cowan <co...@ccil.org> --Edsger W.
