The functionality of (ice-9 lineio) is duplicated in the built-in unread-string and the (ice-9 rdelim) module. So, not knowing the actual history, I would guess that (ice-9 lineio) predates them. In that case, now that we have those two, it would seem that lineio is no longer needed. paul _______________________________________________ Bug-guile mailing list Bug-guile@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-guile
