There are a few exceptions though: - scm_from_locale_symbol[n] -- here's a confusing name, perhaps scm_c_symbol_from_locale_string is more apt -- but this function will be used frequently, so there is an advantage to keeping it short; perhaps scm_c_symbol_from_locale or scm_c_symbol_from_lstring or scm_c_symbol_from_lchars? - scm_frame_begin, unwind_handler, etc -- should change because there is also a SCM-based scm_frame interface 2) NEWS talks about SCM_FRAME_WIND_EXPLICITELY, but code is (correctly) EXPLICITLY Regards, -- Andy Wingo http://wingolog.org/ _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
