Here's the updated (and hopefully improved) SRFI-105. SRFI editors: Would you please update to this one? Some highlights: * Discusses infix.plt, another infix system * Has a longer discussion about precedence * Include John Cowan's research about brace use in Schemes. Only 2 (Chibi and RScheme) of 45 have a meaning assigned to the braces, a remarkably small number. * Include Donovan Kolbly's description of RScheme's brace use * Separate discussion of why marker should begin with "#!", vs. why the marker should be "#!srfi-105". * Now completely HTML 3.2 per the W3C validator - no exceptions at all. The one use of "style=" has been replaced with a table and non-breakable-hyphen to force formatting. * Said that for portability, portable applications SHOULD use the marker, per request by John Cowan * I reorganized some things in the early part of the rationale. Hopefully it's clearer, though that means that "diff" will show changes that are really just moves. I polled the guile list about beginning a marker with "#!", since they have a completely different semantic for #! than some others. Generally nobody on the guile list screamed about it, which was reassuring. I HAVE gotten some complaints about using #!srfi-105 ... several want #!curly-infix. But those emails aren't on the SRFI-105 email list! I haven't changed the marker, but I did separate out the discussion of "#!" from "#!srfi-105", since they are separate issues, in case that changes. I hope to see some others join, and then have a discussion on that topic. If the only issue is the spelling of a marker, that's pretty good. --- David A. Wheeler
