  • Is (define ( . ) ) missing in RNRS Formal synta

    From Nate@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 9 09:06:02 2023
    Referencing R4RS section 7.1.5., R5RS section 7.1.6. and R7RS section 7.1.6. ...
    For (define ...) expressions of the form
    (define (<variable> . <formal>) <body>)
    Is a BNF/EBNF description of the above form missing in R4/5/7RS?

    In my copy of the R7RS, there is the line

    (define (〈identifier〉 〈def formals〉) 〈body〉

    in 7.1.6.
