For example, #\escape in libraries definitions to be compiled yields a lexical error. Symbols of the form |...| are also unsupported.

Presumably, this is due to the compile-stale script requesting r6rs mode.

I suspect it's because all Scheme scripts run in -r6rs mode rather than -r7rs mode.

There's no good reason for that, because Scheme scripts were described only within an unratified appendix.

Yes, it would be nice if a Larceny user could also turn their R7RS-programs into Scheme scripts.

WillClinger commented 7 years ago

Changing scheme-script to run scripts in R7RS mode appears to have fixed this. See changeset 6ba1848584b6beaf6e0449087a83a0a2c00c32a5
