pk in boot-9.scm

pk in boot-9.scm

[Bill Schottstaedt]

A less-than-ideal error message (abstracted from a much larger context):


guile> (version)
"1.7.2"
guile> (+ pk 1.0) ; "pk" was a typo in the original code

Backtrace:
In standard input:
    5: 0* [+ {#<procedure peek stuff>} 1.0]

standard input:5:1: In procedure + in expression (+ pk 1.0):
standard input:5:1: Wrong type argument in position 1: #<procedure peek stuff>
ABORT: (wrong-type-arg)
guile>


caused by ice-9/boot-9.scm line 225 -- perhaps pk could be moved to a
debugging module or something.

Can you propose a better error message?

What would be the advantage of this?
