Hi, yes. In 1.2 the ' will be not part of the symbol +, but it will be attached to the following 1, quoting it. The reader of 1.3 will consume the ' as part of the + symbol. To clarify this a little:
1.2 sees: [+ '1] (<=> [+ (quote 1)]) 1.3 sees: [+' 1] Too "outrageously clever" for my taste, since the reader has no official specification whatsoever. The rules on clojure.org are not enforced by the current implementation. +' could just as well be rejected in 1.2 with ' not being allowed in symbols without breaking the rules named on clojure.org. IMHO one should avoid such undefined behaviour. Sincerely Meikel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
