Anything that reduces the amount of information that one needs to track is a good thing. The Guile library supports POSIX calls with POSIX-ly named functions. Excellent. I only need to learn one set of names and figure out some mostly obvious permutations to use the Guile function for the POSIX call. So, despite the fact that "delete-file" is far more obvious than "unlink", the rename increases the complexity of my programming life. I had to find "delete-file" by grepping the source for "unlink *\(". Ick. Please consider adding "unlink" and any other POSIX calls that got renamed. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
