Hi Guilers, Using Guile 3.0.5, the elisp reader does not seem to support keywords written in Elisp's preferred prefix-style notation (:keyword).
scheme@(guile-user)> ,L elisp Happy hacking with Emacs Lisp! To switch back, type `,L scheme'. elisp@(guile-user)> :keyword ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669:16: In procedure raise-exception: Unbound variable: :keyword Entering a new prompt. Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue. elisp@(guile-user) [1]> ,q elisp@(guile-user)> (funcall (@ (guile) symbol->keyword) 'keyword) $1 = #:keyword Meanwhile in Emacs M-: :keyword yields :keyword. Using Scheme-style keywords also does not work: elisp@(guile-user)> #:keyword While compiling expression: uninterned symbol cannot be saved to object file #<uninterned-symbol keyword 7fb39fa4b5e0> I think Guile should produce keyword objects for the former, so that we don't need to talk about the latter.
