interpol macro?

[mmontone]

Hello,

I have this macro in my code:

(defmacro interpol (string) 
  (with-input-from-string (s (prin1-to-string string))
    (cl-interpol:interpol-reader s nil nil :recursive-p nil)))

So I don't need to use the reader syntax. I just use the macro.

What do you think of including in cl-interpol?

I think this is pretty nice. It would be great to include this.

Oh, this doesn't seem to work in all cases?

CL-USER> #?"\N{Greek capital letter Sigma}"
"Σ"
CL-USER> (interpol "\N{Greek capital letter Sigma}")
"N{Greek captial letter Sigma}"

You must now double-backslash the N because now it is read with the standard Lisp reader, not via the cl-interpol one.

Oh, I thought I added that in my examples. I did try it, but it seemed not to work anyway:

CL-USER> (interpol "\\N{Greek capital letter Sigma}")
"\\N{Greek capital letter Sigma}"
