wip/hs-husk-scheme 3.17 NetBSD

Husk is a dialect of Scheme written in Haskell that implements a superset of the R5RS standard. Advanced features are provided including:

* First-class continuations of unlimited extent * Hygienic macros based on syntax-rules * Low-level explicit renaming macros * Library syntax from the R7RS standard * A foreign function interface (FFI) to Haskell * Full numeric tower providing support for real, rational, and complex numbers * Proper tail recursion and lexical scoping * Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) interpreter, with input driven by Haskeline to provide a rich user experience * Standard library of Scheme functions, and support for many popular SRFI's

Husk may be used as either a stand-alone interpreter or as an extension language within a larger Haskell application. By closely following the R5RS standard, the intent is to develop a Scheme that is as compatible as possible with other R5RS Schemes. Husk is mature enough for use in production, however it is not optimized for performance-critical applications.
