;;; Configuration ------------------------------------------------------------

(define format:symbol-case-conv #f)
;; Symbols are converted by symbol->string so the case of the printed
;; symbols is implementation dependent. format:symbol-case-conv is a
;; one arg closure which is either #f (no conversion), string-upcase!,
;; string-downcase! or string-capitalize!.

(define format:iobj-case-conv #f)
;; As format:symbol-case-conv but applies for the representation of
;; implementation internal objects.

(define format:expch #\E)
;; The character prefixing the exponent value in ~e printing.

(define format:iteration-bounded #t)
;; If #t, "~{...~}" iterates no more than format:max-iterations times;
;; if #f, there is no bound.

(define format:max-iterations 100)
;; Compatible with previous versions.

(define format:floats (provided? 'inexact))
;; Detects if the scheme system implements flonums (see at eof).

(define format:complex-numbers (provided? 'complex))
;; Detects if the scheme system implements complex numbers.

(define format:radix-pref (char=? #\# (string-ref (number->string 8 8) 0)))
;; Detects if number->string adds a radix prefix.
