Good point! Arrays would not have the same status as lists and vectors unless the quasiquotation and syntax-rules pattern/template syntax&semantics were extended to deal with them.
Srfi-10-style literals would be more appealing if they integrated well with quasi-quotation. What I'd mean is that something like this should be well-defined: `#,(tag datum1 ,datum2 ,@datum3) If tag is defined using: (define-reader-ctor tag constructor) the this would be equivalent to: `(,constructor datum1 ,datum2 ,@datum3) Not sure how useful this is. Also, the use of comma in #, might be confusing whencombined with quasi-quotation. -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://per.bothner.com/
