[Scheme-reports] issue with R7RS draft 8 section 7.1.7 <comment>
Joseph Wayne Norton 14 Jan 2013 09:29 UTC
The definition for <comment> has an issue when it follows a dot (".").
The definition includes 3 cases - simple comment, nested comment, and datum comment.
comment = ";" *non-line-ending line-ending
/ nested-comment
/ "#;" datum
The datum comment when following a dot "eats" the next datum and thus is improper.
I'd suggest to document this point or to correct the BNF definition with special handling for dot.
thanks,
Joe N.
