Re: Adding dot-notation in an ISO conforming manner

I seem to have missed something.

Does this mean that if I do
	write_canonical([a,b,c])
in some other Prolog, getting
	'.'(a, '.'(b, '.'(c, [])))
and then try to read this in SWI Prolog,
it will read as something *other* than [a,b,c]?

Why is this thought to be a good idea?

Oh well, since [] reads as the wrong kind of data
structure anyway, it was already broken.

But the *point* of write_canonical was to facilitate
data interchange between Prologs.

Changing the list constructors from '[]' and '.' is
looking like a worse and worse idea.

There isn't any problem with write_canonical reading
and writing strings, but getting list reading wrong
is, well, ...
