"If - or . are the first character, the second character must be non-numeric. Additionally, : # are allowed as constituent characters in symbols but not as the first character." So, is "foo/-4bar" allowed or not? It would seem allowed, but this has the unfortunate property that the we're left with an unreadable symbol if we strip the prefix: "-4bar". I follow forbidding "-4bar" since that means potentially unbounded look-ahead to distinguish numbers from non-numbers. Presumably forbidding ".4bar" is for the same reason, though ".01" doesn't appear to be a valid numeric literal. (Numeric literals all start with a digit.) // Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
