Arguments: &rest args
This macro implements a convenient notation for representing a character string containing characters that may be difficult to edit into a source code file. The value is a string that is concatenated from the string form of the arguments:
The sequence :[ aa bb 20 e3b4 10a234 :]
denotes the
6 characters: four with character codes #xaa #xbb #x20 #xe3b4 and the
two surrogate characters needed to represent the Unicode code point
#x10a234.
If there are no occurrences of the :eval
argument,
the result emitted by the macro is a constant string. If
the :eval
argument is used, the macro emits a call
to the compose-string-fn
function.
See iacl.htm for more information on international characters and external formats.
