Those would *look* okay but wouldn't work on many Lisps (Common Lisp, Scheme). The "|" introduces a literal atom on many Lisps. > Just: those in turn... hm, does the sweet read code actually rely on the > read implementation of the underlying Scheme? I had the impression that it > would read char by char anyway. There are currently at least 3 current implementations of sweet-expression readers: 1. The Scheme one (tested mostly with guile) 2. Common Lisp 3. ANTLR/Java implementation (primarily for grammar analysis). Anyone can always implement another. We want it to be as easy as possible to implement it, while limiting the difficulties of doing so. --- David A.
