Would module names in `require` and `provide` be another example -- in the sense that `(require net/url)` expands to "net/url/main.rkt"? Although this is string quoting not `quote`, I think same macro category of "quoting" or "data sublanguage"? ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
