I was for cmp (or similar) since it's not really about equality (in fact, the example shows a meaningful use of < for it). I thoroughly agree with you on the ?, but I think equal-predicate? would be misleading (since it's not about any kind of equality here -- the < used in the example isn't even an equivalence relation). So how would be `compare?' regards -- tomas _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
