[Chicken-users] lambda's in a hash table

[Claude Marinier]

Bonjour,

I can add lambdas to a hash table at run time, retrieve them, and execute 
them. This is very useful.

I would like to have the compiler do some of this for me. I probably 
cannot write a literal hash table but I expected to be able to write a 
literal association list. I have tried this but it does not work.


(declare (uses srfi-69))

(define a-list
 `(
    (dot  . ,(lambda () (display "dot\n")))
    (dash . ,(lambda () (display "dash\n")))
  ))

(define dict
  (alist->hash-table a-list))

(let ((func-dot (hash-table-ref dict 'dot))
      (func-dash (hash-table-ref dict 'dash)))
  func-dot
  func-dash)


I have tried various ways of quoting but have not yet found something 
which works.

Can this be done or do I have to create it when the program starts?

Merci.
