Re: Macros and little languages




Luca Cardelli and friends studied a mechanism for adding new 
productions to a language in the early 90s and came up with a 
pretty decent solution. (I actually had an undergraduate do 
some similar, and he produced a paper with the title "Extend-syntax
doesn't". The `extend-syntax' refers to the predecessor of define-syntax
in Scheme (Kohlbecker, Scheme 84).) -- Matthias
