<listentolist>ArneBab: I would just convert this file https://html.spec.whatwg.org/entities.json to an alist and modify `scan-entity` in htmlprag to look up entities in it.

<listentolist>But I am not sure if this is a good solution.

<sham1>It might possibly make more sense to have a trie

<sam113101>wth is "#<unspecified>"

<rlb>It's the value returned in cases where the result is "unspecified", e.g. (if #f 42)

<dthompson>it's the unspecified value. it's what a procedure returns when there is nothing to return, typically. often in the case of procedures that are called for their side-effects

<sam113101>thanks

<rlb>(it's also available as *unspecified* in guile, and it's "nonstandard")

<dsmith>It does have an effect in Guile, at the REPL, am expression that evaluate to unspecified doesn't print anything

<dsmith>The REPL printer doesn't print unspecifed values..

<dthompson>it's kind of a weird artifact from a time without multi-value return
