<old>rlb: what was tha spec you mentioned ? #u8".."

<rlb>"info guile srfi-207" :) (new)

<rlb>cf. https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-207/srfi-207.html

<rlb>(new to guile I mean)

<rlb>Though in 3.0 it has to be read-enabled.

<old>ahh I see that's cool

<old>hmm is it me or spawn is just broken in the REPL due to readline changing stdin to a soft port

<rlb>I don't know if we'd want to, but I suppose we could consider enabling bytestrings by default in some future release. Or we might want some other way to have "per-module file" reader options. iirc the reader changes are global, so if you try have a .scm file with a module that uses some non-default options (like bytestrings or prefix keywords or...) that'll break modules loaded later.

<rlb>And no solid idea what "per-module file" (or per-module/file) or... would actually mean.

<old>yes having reader global is kind of weird

<old>but also useful

<rlb>I suppose for the common case some kind of "read-enable/disable-until-eof" might work: (define-module (foo) ...) (read-enable-until-eof 'bytestrings) ...

<rlb>"or something"

<rlb>But that's not quite right either I suspect.

<rlb>I think I'd want it to affect the forms in the (define-module ...) file and any code loaded from that, but not any sub-modules loaded.

<sneek>Yey! dsmith is back :)

<dsmith>sneek, botsnack

<sneek>:)
