I do, too, but I think it's a little unclear in the report as it stands, due to wording that doesn't adequately distinguish between written notations of symbols and the actual characters that comprise them. Relatedly, having just read string->symbol and symbol->string, is it clear whether the strings should contain the escaped version of the symbols, or directly be the sequence of characters that make up the symbol after escaping? I think it should be the latter. It talks of the string as the *name* of the symbol, but browsing around the text doesn't make it immediately apparent to me what the relationship between a symbol, its name, and its written representation are. > Cheers, > Peter ABS - -- Alaric Snell-Pym http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/alaric/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8MH7YACgkQRgz/WHNxCGqg2wCfa662dXls5sziASttjmb+CB19 6uUAn0azdLUyfEZpreaRzH0jYLL2EDeS =ZxD6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
