[Scheme-reports] Rebinding syntactic keywords as variables
Andre van Tonder 24 Apr 2011 19:47 UTC
5.2.1. Toplevel definitions, on p. 19, does not specify what happens
when we encounter
(define foo 1)
if FOO has already been previously bound to a transformer by a syntax
definition. And vice versa for par. 5.3.
This has some consequences for the literal matching rules on p 17. For example,
the following is well defined
(define else 1)
(define-syntax cond .......)
(define else 2) ; this is just a set! so does not change the location to
; which ELSE is bound
(cond (else "matches else")) ==> matches else
but the following isn't well-defined
(define-syntax else .......)
(define-syntax cond .......)
(define else 2) ; not just a set! any more
(cond (else "matches else")) ==> does this match ELSE or not?
