<civodul>Hello Guilers!

<wingo>morning civodul :)

*wingo just ran into http://bugs.gnu.org/17634

<dsmith-work>Appropriate Greetings, Guilers

<paron_remote>hello dsmith-work :)

<paron_remote>does someone have an example I could look at on how to define syntax that *optionally* contains a docstring, or some such, but doesn't involve a lot of redefining the same code?

<paron_remote>eg, I have

<paron_remote> http://pamrel.lu/5f824/

<wingo>usually you use syntax-case with an extra clause

<davexunit>beat me to it :)

<paron_remote>wingo: aha, ok!

<wingo>(syntax-case stx () ((form docstring arg) (string? (syntax->datum #'docstring)) #'(form arg)) ((form arg) ...))

<wingo>i think our syntax-rules might allow guard clauses now, i don't remember

<davexunit>they do

<wingo>we should add (define-syntax-rules foo clause ...)

<wingo>plural rules

<davexunit>yeah, that would be nice.

<davexunit>here's an example of syntax-case macro with a guard clause: https://gitorious.org/sly/sly/source/a915b370094a59f868b6d49ab50e10c062600b46:sly/signal.scm#L158

<davexunit>warning: this macro probably sucks

<davexunit>but it works :)

<paron_remote>hm

*paron_remote brain hurts thinking through all the syntax-foo :)

<paron_remote>I think I'm going to take a break and work on my libreplanet presentation then come back to this ;)

<davexunit>syntax-case macros are a different animal than syntax-rules

<paron_remote>yeah I've written one for the fauxnads experiment I did

<paron_remote>lots of brain expansion to get used to all the ideas and directions though :)

<paroneayea>davexunit: "adder cadadr" as your children's book title? :)

<davexunit>paroneayea: hehe, yes.

<davexunit>I wish I knew the exact moment where sussman talks about cadr/cadadr/etc. in the SICP lectures

<davexunit>it's quite amusing

<davexunit>it involves people talking about lisp over the phone

<paroneayea>davexunit: :)
