I came across some odd behavior today regarding readtables. Specifically, (make-readtable base) seems to produce a readtable that is operationally different from `base` when reading s-expression comments. Consider the following code:
; this works (read (open-input-string "(1 . 2 #;3)")) ; => '(1 . 2) ; this fails (parameterize ([current-readtable (make-readtable (current-readtable))]) (read (open-input-string "(1 . 2 #;3)"))) ; => read: illegal use of `.’ (see http://pasterack.org/pastes/48735 for a working demo) Is this a bug, or is it intentional? If it’s the latter, is it documented anywhere? Alexis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
