[Scheme-reports] #! as general directive prefix? Denis Washington 26 Jul 2011 16:37 UTC

Hi,

Reading chapter 2 of the third draft, I was thinking: now that we have
#!fold-case and #!no-fold-case and other directives might follow in WG2,
wouldn't it be appropriate for section 2.3 (Other notations) to define
"#!" as generally introducing a "read directive"? That would encourage
implementations to use the same syntax for their own directives, which
helps portability (an implementation could just ignore unknown
directives which might just be used by another for optimization
purposes). Just an idea.

Regards,
Denis
