Re: write escapes

 Hello, David,
write is hard coded to use octal for both the native and jvm runtimes.
There may be an alternative to using write. What specifically are you trying to do?

 Hi-
Is there a way to get write to use hex escapes instead of octal?
i.e. instead of:
1:=> (write "\x01")
"\001"#<output_port:stdout>

I'd like:
1:=> (write "\x01")
"\x01"#<output_port:stdout>

I note UCS does something similar:
1:=> (write (utf8-string->ucs2-string "\u0001"))
#u"\001"#<output_port:stdout>

Thanks
David
