<dsmith>graywolf, Yes I agree separating #f and '() is a good idea. But you need something like this to get the intended result:

<dsmith>scheme@(guile-user)> (format #f "~@[[~a]~]" (let ((l '())) (if (null? l) #f l)))

<dsmith>$4 = ""

<dsmith>Ewww

<graywolf>dsmith: I endend up with something similar to (format #f "~:[[~a]~;~*~]" (null? l) l), which, assuming l already exists, seems readable enough?

<graywolf>But yeah, I did not figure out anything nice with ~@[

<graywolf>Is there a common, agreed upon format for the file header? It seems to be `;;; Commentary:' and `;;; Code:' and I am not sure how to format lines in between. I checked Guile's source and it is... mixed.

<lloda>it's rather silly that (log 0) throws when the result is always inexact

<lloda>but chez & racket do the same

<dsmith>lloda, Probably an attempt to follow emacs conventions? https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Library-Headers.html

<dsmith>lloda, Sorry was for graywolf

<dsmith>And is gone at the moment

<dsmith>sneek, later tell graywolf Yeah, that does look better (using ~:[ )

<sneek>Okay.

<dsmith>sneek later tell graywolf The comments are probably an attempt to follow emacs conventions? https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Library-Headers.html

<sneek>Okay.

<dsmith>sneek, botsnack

<sneek>:)

<dsmith>There's a good little bot!
