Re: unrecognized syntax: type[args]

[Damien Mattei <damien.mattei@gmail.com>]

it is hard to modify without touching or breaking deeply the kawa code
or my code because $bracket-apply$ is coded in java in
BracketApply.java
do you know a way to rename $bracket-apply$ it. The standart scheme
way i know does not work, the cause seems to be that it is java behind
, it is not a macro ,not a procedure:
#|kawa:9|# $bracket-apply$
#<syntax <unnamed>>
i ideally want to rewrite $bracket-apply$ and be able to reuse in it
the code of the previous definition of $bracket-apply$....

first problem is to rename this "object" $bracket-apply$ in kawa ?
