Re: Keyword syntax

Keywords can be written as foo: or as #:foo.  The former is the

It's documented in the SVN manual source, in both the Keywords
and Hash-prefixed-form sections.

I'm puzzled why the web-site shows different.  Perhaps some problem
updating the web-site.  Hm.  I'll look into it.

I need to use keywords in r7rs mode for
define-simple-class, so I was wondering if the latter syntax is in
danger of being deprecated?

I intend to keep the #:foo syntax - it's used by both Guile and Racket.
