6.1.5 Keywords

Keywords constitute an extension to Scheme required by Dsssl [Dsssl96]. Keywords syntax is either <ident>: or :<ident>.

Keywords are autoquote and case sensitive. So

(eq? toto: TOTO:) ⇒ #f

The colon character (:) does not belong to they keyword. Hence

(eq? toto: :toto) ⇒ #t

bigloo procedure: keyword? obj

bigloo procedure: keyword->string keyword

bigloo procedure: string->keyword string

bigloo procedure: keyword->symbol keyword

bigloo procedure: symbol->keyword symbol
