Release blockers. I know you're asking about how to wrap up 2.2, and here I am to suggest new features. So rude. ;-) If I had to come up with my own personal lists of features I'd love to claim for a future release. * A string encoding that can handle raw bytes to make Guile more Emacs friendly, as per many e-mails in this thread. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2017-02/msg00118.html * Some helper funcs for debugging. For example, I just found out (after a decade) that Guile comes with its own pk. Also, a "break REPL here when condition is true" procedure would be great. I've sometimes rolled my own with ",break acos" and adding (acos 0.0) for the location in question. * Fix GDB support. >From my understanding of Guile internals, the former is tractable. -Mike
