Abbreviations
Some forms are used so frequently that writing out the full (callee arg)
syntax every time
would be very inconvenient.
For those forms, we provide abbreviations: alternative syntax for a particular form, intended to be easier to read and more convenient to type.
For example, wherever you would write (access coll key)
, you can write
[coll key]
instead. When it comes to parsing and printing, the two pieces
of text are completely interchangeable.
