- klibertp 1y agoYup. Somehow, I prefer[1]: (funcall #~s:gi/abc/def/ "Testing abc testing abc") to the five lines of the equivalent made with macros, function calls, and keyword arguments. I know all the problems with reader extensions, really. I understand being cautious. But at some point, you gotta wonder: what's the point of the programmable reader when you're unwilling to add programs to it?

- kazinator 1y agoI'm reasonably happy with: 1> (regsub #/abc/ "def" "Testing abc testing abc") "Testing def testing def"
