Name:
Character Sets
Summary:
Implementation of character sets in Scheme.
Version:
26-MAY-93
Description:
A character set is, as its name might suggest, a set for storing
characters. Such sets are often particularly useful in string
processing applications. The reason for treating sets of characters
in a special manner is that until the advent of UNICODE and ISO ???,
character sets only contained a maximum of 255 characters and so this
fact could be taken advantage of in an implementation. The usual
approach being to store a character set as a bit set.
