Hi Sean!

Thanks for the patch!

This patch does 2 things (with tests):

• Fixes a bug where e.g. "123${x}" didn't get expanded correctly, by adding a needed copy-sequence.

Looks like you sent a patch against 0.1.0. I'm pretty sure this has been fixed in 0.1.1 which was released about four months ago.

• Adds an option *optional-delimiters-p* that allows you to use the syntax #?"$x 123", where 'x' is interpolated without brackets, and delimited by whitespace.

If I apply your patch against the 0.1.0 release this new feature doesn't work for me - test.lisp barfs on CMUCL and LW. Which Lisp did you develop this with?

FWIW, I had similar functionality in my first (unpublished) version of CL-INTERPOL but gave up on this due to portability reasons. You might want to take a look at the following c.l.l thread:

Thanks, Edi.
