Syntax_rules in Skill++

MatthewLove

I read a forum post from a few years ago where a user mentioned that syntax_rules was partially implemented in Skill++. Just wondering if anyone knows if it's more stable these days and can be used?

It seems like a fairly core part of scheme so it's a bit odd to not include it.

    Well, define_syntax is public since IC615 (and documented in the SKILL documentation - although there's a fairly poor description of what it does and the example isn't great). I've never used it. Bear in mind that SKILL only supports some features of Scheme, not everything (it's not based on Scheme, but borrows things from both Scheme and Common Lisp).

    Personally I've never used it nor had a need to.

    Andrew.
