[Chicken-users] [1.89] The symbol .

[Nicolas Pelletier]

Hello,

I would like to represent "the symbol .". This works fine:

#;1> (list 'a (string->symbol ".") 'b)
(a |.| b)

But this does not:

#;2> (list 'a '|.| 'b)
Error: invalid use of '.'
#;2> b
#;3> (a)

I expected the same behaviour as with "the symbol )":

#;4> (list 'a (string->symbol ")") 'b)
(a |\)| b)
#;5> (list 'a '|\)| 'b)
(a |\)| b)

Is there a way to input the dot as a symbol literal ?
