Hi All, I wanted to understand whether '#' may be treated as a valid character for symbols. The Clojure site [1] has:
"Symbols begin with a non-numeric character and can contain alphanumeric characters and *, +, !, -, _, ', and ? (other characters may be allowed eventually)." I realized I was using # today in a symbol without thinking much of it. However, the syntax highlighting in Vim marked it oddly when it was at the end of the symbol name versus in the middle of the name. (The use case is denoting musical notes using lists of symbols, such as '(c c# d eb) ). auto-gensyms also employ # as part of symbol names, but I do not know if that should be considered a kind of special case. Any clarifications appreciated! steven [1] - http://clojure.org/reference/reader -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
