[Chicken-users] s-expr reader doesn't allow dot followed by string

[christian . jaeger]

Hello,

I have not looked at R5RS, so I don't know if it's a bug, but chicken
is the only scheme (or lisp) I've seen so far that doesn't allow to
omit whitespace between a dot and a string:

 #;> '(a ."b")
 Error: invalid use of '.'

scm, bigloo, scsh, mzscheme, gambit, rscheme (and sbcl and clisp) all
accept that.

Christian.
