[cdr-discuss] Re: [RfC] WITH-READTABLE-ITERATOR

The variable MACRO-CHAR-TYPES controls which macro characters are returned:

`:macro-char' All macro characters in READTABLE that are _not_ dispatch macro characters.

`:dispatch-macro-char' All dispatch macro characters in READTABLE.

I'm not perfectly happy with these names. Especially the first one is somewhat misleading. But I don't think I'd be happy with :NON-DISPATCH-MACRO-CHAR either.

But what I wanted to ask is if these names should be in plural perhaps rather than in singular?

(with-readtable-iterator (next-entry *readtable* :dispatch-macro-chars) ...)

looks better to my eyes than

(with-readtable-iterator (next-entry *readtable* :dispatch-macro-char) ...)

What do you think?
