[plt-scheme] no #!eof
IIRC, #!eof ended up not being mandated by R6, but I'm curious why it
isn't supported in v4.
I think it'd be convenient for things like:
(case (read-char port)
[(#\,) (parse-more-items port)]
[(#\]) '()]
[#!eof (error 'parser "unexpected EOF")])
whereas otherwise you have to split the conditional out into three levels:
(let ([ch (read-char port)])
(if (eof-object? ch)
(error 'parse "unexpected EOF")
(case ch
etc...)))
I imagine there's a good reason I haven't thought of why #!eof is a bad
idea, but I thought I'd ask in case it's an oversight.
Thanks,
Dave
