[announce] Infix 2.0b1, an infix to prefix transformer

[Marco Maggi]

Infix
=====


Overview
--------

This package is a distribution of libraries for R6RS Scheme
implementations; it provides the INFIX macro which converts the
traditional infix notation for expressions to the equivalent Scheme's
prefix notation.

The library has no dependencies; the implementation itself is a
single, definitive, kill'em all DEFINE-SYNTAX form with the addition of
a few auxiliary syntaxes.

The library attempts to support Guile, Larceny, Mosh, Petite Chez,
Racket, Sagittarius, Vicare and Ypsilon. Only Ypsilon fails because of
the known expander problems.

Detailed informations on usage are in the README file.

The library is the work of Marco Maggi, the code is derived from the
Nausicaa/Scheme distribution of libraries. The only way to regenerate
the parser table is to build it in Nausicaa/Scheme and copy it into the
library here.

The parser table and the general concept of the package is a rework of
Guile-Arith by Ian Grant. The parser driver is from the Lalr-scm
package by Dominique Boucher, the parser table is also generated using
Lalr-scm. The implementation of XOR is by Derick Eddington.

Support for Sagittarius was completed by https://github.com/ktakashi.


Release notes for version 2.0b1
-------------------------------

* Added support for Sagittarius Scheme.

* The library now exports the identifiers ? and : used for if-then-else
expressions.

It fails with Guile, too. I forgot about it.
