I apologize for the delay in responding to this comment. I'm going to treat it as informal, because it so happens that the WG voted on the fifth ballot (which closed before the comment was written) to do exactly those things, and they are already on trunk. See ticket #324. The only difference is that \" is permitted within vertical lines: (eq? |"| |\"|) => #t. -- You are a child of the universe no less John Cowan than the trees and all other acyclic http://www.ccil.org/~cowan graphs; you have a right to be here.
