Subject: bug#17418: #:select gives access to private variables
Date: Tue, 06 May 2014 10:48:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sion47ji.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)

Consider this module:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-module (t))

(define private #t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And now:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

This is as expected.
But adding #:select (private) gives access to ‘private’:

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

scheme@(guile-user)> private
$1 = #t
