<h1>Abstract</h1>
<p>This SRFI introduces the CAT procedure that converts any object to a string.
It takes one object as the first argument and accepts a variable number of
optional arguments, unlike the procedure called FORMAT.</p>
<h1>Rationale</h1>
<p>It is difficult to gain a complete consensus for the design of a generic
formatting procedure that performs a variety of necessary functions in
addition to essential functions provided in C's PRINTF and Common lisp's
FORMAT. One of such ways would be to devise a free (and/or floating) sequence
method that easily handles optional arguments, in contrast to the conventional
fixed sequence method, in order to obtain a handy optional and functional
interface. With the concept of free sequencing, the CAT procedure is then
defined, not to process optional arguments with default values, but to process
default values with optional arguments.</p>
<h1>Issues</h1>
<p>In converting a number to a string, it has not been tried to uniformly express
the exactness of a number. The CAT procedure makes it possible for the user
to prefix an exact sign to the resulting string as well as not to prefix it to
the resulting string as conventionally used when an exact number is made to
have a decimal point. An inexact sign is prefixed to the resulting string in
addition to an radix sign when an inexact number is converted to a
non-decimal.</p>
<h1>Specification</h1>
<dl>
<dt>
<code>
(CAT &lt;object&gt; [&lt;exactness%&gt;] [&lt;radix%&gt;] [&lt;sign%&gt;] [&lt;precision%&gt;] [&lt;separator%&gt;]
[&lt;writer$&gt;] [&lt;pipe$&gt;] [&lt;take$&gt;]
[&lt;converter*&gt;] [&lt;width*&gt;] [&lt;char*&gt;] [&lt;port*&gt;] [&lt;string*&gt;] ...)
</code></dt>
<dd>&lt;suffix%&gt;: effective only for the number type of &lt;object&gt;.<br>
&lt;suffix$&gt;: effective for all types except the number type of &lt;object&gt;.<br>
&lt;suffix*&gt;: effective for all types of &lt;object&gt;.</dd>
<dd>&lt;object&gt; is any Scheme object.</dd>
<dd>&lt;exactness&gt; is a symbol: exact or inexact.</dd>
<dd>&lt;radix&gt; is a symbol: binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal.<br>
Each radix sign except decimal is prefixed to the resulting string.<br>
The default value is decimal.</dd>
<dd>If &lt;sign&gt; is a symbol that takes the form of 'sign, and
&lt;object&gt; is a positive number without a positive sign, the
positive sign is prefixed to the resulting string.</dd>
<dd>&lt;precision&gt; is an inexact integer whose absolute value
specifies the number of decimal digits after a decimal point. If
&lt;precision&gt; is a non-negative integer, an exact sign is prefixed
to the resulting string as needed.</dd>
<dd>&lt;separator&gt; is a list whose first element is a character
serving as a separator and second element is a positive exact integer.
If the integer is n, the resulting string is separated in every
n-characters of the resulting string. When the integer is omitted, the
default value is 3.</dd>
<dd>&lt;writer&gt; is a procedure of two arguments; &lt;object&gt; and
a string port. It writes &lt;object&gt; to the string port. The default
value of &lt;writer&gt; is varied according to the type of
&lt;object&gt;. When &lt;object&gt; is a self-evaluating constant, it
becomes equivalent to DISPLAY procedure, otherwise, it becomes WRITE
procedure. If you want any objects to be displayed in your own way, you
have to define your own &lt;writer&gt;. Otherwise, they are displayed
simply in their evaluated forms.</dd>
<dd>&lt;pipe&gt; is a list which is composed of one or more procedures.
Each procedure takes at least one string argument and returns a string.
One procedure connects with another as a pipe.</dd>
<dd>&lt;take&gt; is a list whose elements are two exact integers; n and
m, and the absolute values of n and m are N and M, respectively. First,
the resulting string takes from the left n-characters, if it is
non-negative, or all the characters but N-characters, if negative.
Second, it takes from the right m-characters, if it is non-negative, or
all the characters but M-characters, if negative. Then, it concatenates
two set of characters taken. The second element can be omitted. If
omitted, the default value is 0.</dd>
<dd>&lt;converter&gt; is a pair whose car value is a predicate
procedure that checks whether &lt;object&gt; satisfies it, and cdr
value is a procedure that takes the &lt;object&gt; as an argument and
returns a string. When &lt;object&gt; satisfies the predicate
procedure, all optional arguments are ineffective except &lt;width&gt;,
&lt;char&gt;, &lt;port&gt;, and &lt;string&gt;.</dd>
<dd>&lt;width&gt; is an exact integer whose absolute value specifies
the width of the resulting string. When the resulting string has fewer
characters than the absolute value of &lt;width&gt;, it is placed
rightmost with the rest being padded with &lt;char&gt;s, if
&lt;width&gt; is positive, or it is placed leftmost with the rest being
padded with &lt;char&gt;s, if &lt;width&gt; is negative. On the other
hand, when the resulting string has more characters than the absolute
value of &lt;width&gt;, the &lt;width&gt; is ignored. The default value
is 0.</dd>
<dd>&lt;char&gt; is a padding character. The default value is #\space.</dd>
<dd>&lt;port&gt; is an output port or a boolean. If an output port is
specified, the resulting string and &lt;string&gt;s are output into
that port and simultaneously returned as a string. If &lt;port&gt; is
#t, the output port is current output port. If &lt;port&gt; is #f, the
output is only returned as a string. The default value is #f.</dd>
<dd>&lt;string&gt; is a string that is appended to the resulting string.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The order of all optional arguments does not matter. The CAT procedure
processes optional arguments in the following order; &lt;exactness&gt;, &lt;radix&gt;,
&lt;precision&gt;, &lt;separator&gt;, &lt;sign&gt; for the number type of &lt;object&gt;, or in the
following order; &lt;writer&gt;, &lt;pipe&gt;, &lt;take&gt; for all other types.</p>

<h1>Acknowledgment</h1>
<p>I owe much to those who incite me to make this SRFI better. And I
must thank Michael Sperber for his encouragement and guidance during
the draft period of <a href="http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-51/">SRFI 51</a>, as the important part of this SRFI is
based on SRFI 51. Without him, neither SRFI 51 nor SRFI 54 would have
been finilized. Again, I greatly appreciate his kindness and effort.
Finally, I deeply apologize to Francisco Solsona for bringing disgrace
upon him against my will early in the draft period.</p>
