[Jscheme-user] some issues with the new quasi string

[Ken A. <kan...@bb...>]

The following shows that #{} and {} behave differently.

(define (show x)
  (display {[x]\n})
  #t)

(define (show# x)
  (display #{#[x]#\n}#)
  #t)

> (show (map (lambda (i) #{import #[i]##[semi]#\n}#) '(foo bar baz)))
import foo;
import bar;
import baz;

#t
> (show# (map (lambda (i) #{import #[i]##[semi]#\n}#) '(foo bar baz)))
(import foo;
 import bar;
 import baz;
)
#t

The parens should not be there.  Iv'e fixed !#{} to be the same as !{}.

Another issue is that when generating a Java statement with a ";'" at the end will confuse EMACS paren matching.  I've found 2 solutions to this:

S1: escape back to scheme #[#\;]# to write the ";" in a way that Emacs will handle properly, or #[semi]# with (define semi ";").

S2: Put the ";" as the last character of a line:

#{import #[import]#;
}#

I hope to have an example of generating a Java Bean.
