Hello,
My understanding is that Racket intentionally does not provide set-car! and
set-cdr! and that this is one of the ways in which Racket is not fully
compatible with Scheme.
Am I right to think that it is trivially easy to add these features to
Racket? Specifically, I'm thinking of:
(define-syntax set-car!
(syntax-rules ()
((_ l new_car) (set! l (cons new_car (cdr l))))))
(define-syntax set-cdr!
(syntax-rules ()
((_ l new_cdr) (set! l (cons (car l) new_cdr)))))
Or did I miss something?
Cheers,
Daniel.
