;;; {Optional Arguments}
;;;
;;; The C interface for creating Guile procedures has a very handy
;;; "optional argument" feature. This module attempts to provide
;;; similar functionality for procedures defined in Scheme with
;;; a convenient and attractive syntax.
;;;
;;; exported macros are:
;;;   bound?
;;;   let-optional
;;;   let-optional*
;;;   let-keywords
;;;   let-keywords*
;;;   lambda*
;;;   define*
;;;   define*-public   
;;;   defmacro*
;;;   defmacro*-public
;;;
;;;
;;; Summary of the lambda* extended parameter list syntax (brackets
;;; are used to indicate grouping only):
;;;
;;; ext-param-list ::= [identifier]* [#:optional [ext-var-decl]+]?
;;;   [#:key [ext-var-decl]+ [#:allow-other-keys]?]? 
;;;   [[#:rest identifier]|[. identifier]]?
;;;
;;; ext-var-decl ::= identifier | ( identifier expression )  
;;;
;;; The characters `*', `+' and `?' are not to be taken literally; they
;;; mean respectively, zero or more occurences, one or more occurences,
;;; and one or zero occurences.
;;;



;; bound? var
;;   Checks if a variable is bound in the current environment.
;;
;; defined? doesn't quite cut it as it stands, since it only
;; cheks bindings in the top-level environment, not those in
;; local scope only.

;;   macros used to bind optional arguments
;;
;; These two macros give you an optional argument interface that
;; is very "Schemey" and introduces no fancy syntax. They are
;; compatible with the scsh macros of the same name, but are slightly
;; extended. Each of binding may be of one of the forms <var> or
;; (<var> <default-value>). rest-arg should be the rest-argument of
;; the procedures these are used from. The items in rest-arg are
;; sequentially bound to the variable namess are given. When rest-arg
;; runs out, the remaining vars are bound either to the default values
;; or left unbound if no default value was specified. rest-arg remains
;; bound to whatever may have been left of rest-arg.

;; duplicates keyword args in the rest arg. More explanation of what
;; keyword arguments in a lambda list look like can be found below in
;; the documentation for lambda*.  Bindings can have the same form as
;; for let-optional. If allow-other-keys? is false, an error will be 
;; thrown if anything that looks like a keyword argument but does not
;; match a known keyword parameter will result in an error.

;; lambda* args . body
;;   lambda extended for optional and keyword arguments
;;   
;; lambda* creates a procedure that takes optional arguments. These
;; are specified by putting them inside brackets at the end of the
;; paramater list, but before any dotted rest argument. For example,
;;   (lambda* (a b #:optional c d . e) '())
;; creates a procedure with fixed arguments a and b, optional arguments c
;; and d, and rest argument e. If the optional arguments are omitted
;; in a call, the variables for them are unbound in the procedure. This
;; can be checked with the bound? macro.
;;
;; lambda* can also take keyword arguments. For example, a procedure
;; defined like this:
;;   (lambda* (#:key xyzzy larch) '())
;; can be called with any of the argument lists (#:xyzzy 11)
;; (#:larch 13) (#:larch 42 #:xyzzy 19) (). Whichever arguments
;; are given as keywords are bound to values.
;;
;; Optional and keyword arguments can also be given default values
;; which they take on when they are not present in a call, by giving a
;; two-item list in place of an optional argument, for example in:
;;   (lambda* (foo #:optional (bar 42) #:key (baz 73)) (list foo bar baz)) 
;; foo is a fixed argument, bar is an optional argument with default
;; value 42, and baz is a keyword argument with default value 73.
;; Default value expressions are not evaluated unless they are needed
;; and until the procedure is called.  
;;
;; lambda* now supports two more special parameter list keywords.
;;
;; lambda*-defined procedures now throw an error by default if a
;; keyword other than one of those specified is found in the actual
;; passed arguments. However, specifying #:allow-other-keys
;; immediately after the kyword argument declarations restores the
;; previous behavior of ignoring unknown keywords. lambda* also now
;; guarantees that if the same keyword is passed more than once, the
;; last one passed is the one that takes effect. For example,
;;   ((lambda* (#:key (heads 0) (tails 0)) (display (list heads tails)))
;;    #:heads 37 #:tails 42 #:heads 99)
;; would result in (99 47) being displayed.
;;
;; #:rest is also now provided as a synonym for the dotted syntax rest
;; argument. The argument lists (a . b) and (a #:rest b) are equivalent in
;; all respects to lambda*. This is provided for more similarity to DSSSL,
;; MIT-Scheme and Kawa among others, as well as for refugees from other
;; Lisp dialects.
