Subject: Should records be able to mimic primitive types?
Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 15:00:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8777899d-ca8e-212c-b8bf-2f8da4c54836@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)
In looking at the 'record' feature recently added to master, I noticed
that (record 'integer 'foo 'bar) returns a value V such that (type-of V)
yields the symbol 'integer', even though V is not an integer. Is this
intended? Or should 'record' and 'make-record' reject attempts to build
records that pretend to be of primitive types?
