Please talk to Rob Browning before | doing this, however, since he's doing quite a rewrite of numbers | currently. I think Rob already said it was OK with him. I haven't heard from anyone else. Choosing an appropriate time to do it so that we don't cause unnecessary trouble for anyone who might be working on numbers.c is the the hard part, I think. jwe _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
