Exactly. So let's document it better. Problem solved. Oren and I agreed to add them back to the core productions rather than as a transfer method. The transfer method section isn't setup to handle syntax productions that are necessary to describe quoting. | One nice thing is that you don't need to escape quotes because we rely | on block indenting for scope. If we require escaping quotes it would be | purely cosmetic. As soon as we add in-line seq and map, it is no longer cosmetic. Best, Clark |
