;;; There are two kinds of here string, both introduced by the #< read macro.
;;;
;;; Character-delimited here strings:
;;; A *character-delimited* here string has the form
;;; #<x...stuff...x
;;; where x is any single character (except <, see below), which is used
;;; to delimit the string bounds.
;;; Here are some examples:
;;;
;;; Here string syntax Ordinary syntax
;;; ------------------ ---------------
;;; #<|Hello, world.| "Hello, world."
;;; #<!"Ouch," he said.! "\"Ouch,\" he said."
;;;
;;; There is *no* interpretation of characters within the here string;
;;; characters are all copied verbatim.
;;;
;;; Line-delimited here strings:
;;; If the macro begins "#<<" then it introduces a *line-delimited* here
;;; string. These are similar to the "here documents" of sh and
;;; csh. Line-delimited here strings are delimited by the line of text coming
;;; after the "#<<" sequence. For example:
;;;
;;; #<FOO
;;; Hello, there.
;;; This is read by Scheme as a string,
;;; terminated by the first occurrence
;;; of newline-F-O-O-newline or newline-F-O-O-eof.
;;; FOO
;;;
;;; Thus,
;;; #<foo
;;; Hello, world.
;;; foo
;;; is the same thing as
;;; "Hello, world."
;;;
;;; These are useful for writing down long, constant strings -- such
;;; as long, multi-line FORMAT strings, or arguments to Unix programs, e.g.
;;; ;; Free up some disk space for my netnews files.
;;; (run (csh -c #<EOF
;;; cd /urops
;;; rm -rf *
;;; echo All done.
;;;
;;; EOF
;;; ))
;;;
;;; The advantage they have over the double-quote syntax -- "Hello, world." --
;;; is that there is no need to backslash-quote special characters internal
;;; to the string, such as the double-quote or backslash characters.
;;; Line-delimited here-string syntax:
;;; The characters "#<<" introduce the here-string. The characters
;;; between the "#<<" and the next newline are the *delimiter line*. *All* chars
;;; between the "#<<" and the next newline comprise the delimiter line --
;;; including any white space. The newline char separates the delimiter line
;;; from the body of the string. The string body is terminated by a line of
;;; text which exactly matches the delimiter line. This terminating line can
;;; be ended by either a newline or end-of-file. Absolutely *no*
;;; interpretation is done on the input string. Control chars, white space,
;;; quotes, backslash chars -- everything is copied as-is. The newline
;;; immediately preceding the terminating delimiter line is *not* included in
;;; the result string (leave an extra blank line if you need to put a final
;;; newline in the here string -- see the example above). If EOF is
;;; encountered before reading the end of the here string, an error is
;;; signalled.
