I like both proposed changes: new escape rules for #" , and #r with arbitrary delimiters. Thanks for moving the issue along. Comparing the two, I think the arbitrary delimiter allowed by #r is very attractive. The only potential downside I see with that is that it requires a smarter "clojure mode" in an editor to know how to find the end in source code. (I use emacs, so I trust I'll be all set. I suspect "clojure mode" most other editors can be adapted to handle it.) With #r in place, I would be in favor of leaving #" as it is now, and possibly deprecating and removing it over time. --Steve --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
