;;;; Implementation-dependent parameters and preferences that determine
; how identifiers are represented in the output of the macro expander.
;
; The basic problem is that there are no reserved words, so the
; syntactic keywords of core Scheme that are used to express the
; output need to be represented by data that cannot appear in the
; input.  This file defines those data.

; The following definitions assume that identifiers of mixed case
; cannot appear in the input.

;(define mw:begin1  (string->symbol "Begin"))
;(define mw:define1 (string->symbol "Define"))
;(define mw:quote1  (string->symbol "Quote"))
;(define mw:lambda1 (string->symbol "Lambda"))
;(define mw:if1     (string->symbol "If"))
;(define mw:set!1   (string->symbol "Set!"))

(define mw:begin1  'begin)
(define mw:define1 'define)
(define mw:quote1  'quote)
(define mw:lambda1 'lambda)
(define mw:if1     'if)
(define mw:set!1   'set!)

; The following defines an implementation-dependent expression
; that evaluates to an undefined (not unspecified!) value, for
; use in expanding the (define x) syntax.

(define mw:undefined (list (string->symbol "Undefined")))

; A variable is renamed by suffixing a vertical bar followed by a unique
; integer.  In IEEE and R4RS Scheme, a vertical bar cannot appear as part
; of an identifier, but presumably this is enforced by the reader and not
; by the compiler.  Any other character that cannot appear as part of an
; identifier may be used instead of the vertical bar.
