Question

Racket guide introduces functions with keyword arguments:

(define (F #:keyword argument) ...)

When we use it, we need to associate certain value with the argument:

(F #:keyword 'value)

But in the same guide there is an example of keyword argument with no value:

(struct posn (x y)
    #:transparent)

Is it possible to create such flag-like arguments for programmers, or it is clearly internal feature?

Was it helpful?

Solution

struct is not a function, it is a macro. You can define your own macros that uses keywords in the same way.
