Dear PLT,<br><br>I'm a bit puzzled by Racket's 'print', and I hope you can help me with a couple of questions:<br><br>1. How did the need arise for a printed representation that evaluates to something 'equal?' to the printed value? Could you give an example to help me understand this?<br>
<br>2. Given that need, why did PLT depart from the Scheme standard and use 'print' for the new semantics? Why not define another function that does the job (e.g., 'eprint')?<br><br>Sorry if this post is noisy; I found no answers in the archives.<br>
<br>Thank you,<br>Anthony West<br>
