Re: [Chicken-users] pp and write ignore keyword-style

[John Cowan]

IMO, `write` should not respect `keyword-style` but use the invariant

syntax `#:foo` for keywords, as that always works, whereas `foo:`

and `:foo` don't.  The whole point of `write` is that you can reread

the output with `read` and get something that is the same (in the

sense of `equal?`) to what was written, modulo unwritable objects.

Hi.

pp and write (in chicken 5) do not respect the parameter (keyword-style);
Only display respects keyword-style.
