In addition, you can just copy/paste and then insert/remove indentation; that's actually easy to do. I did it many times when writing my "sweeten" program using sweet-expressions.

I think you can count on that, once it's had more public review. I think it's important that this SRFI be widely implemented, especially in widely-used Scheme implementations like Racket.

(Note: I haven't gone digging > through Racket docs, so correct me if I'm wrong here) I think the key is that there be some standard "start sweet-expressions" marker, be it #!sweet, #!lang sweet, (srfi 110 engage-warp-drive), or whatever. I want it to be possible to move code, unchanged, between implementations. The current draft uses #!sweet, on analogy with #!fold-case... but we're not married to that. If some marker is much easier to use (or preferred) than another in some Scheme implementation, then PLEASE let us know! --- David A. Wheeler
