BTW, I find `gds-tutorial.txt' a very nice way to get started and also to get impressed by the new features. I think this will have to be integrated too. So, below are a couple of feature requests wrt. incremental development from within Emacs. * Completion Currently, `gds-complete-symbol' only completes symbols based on those defined in the current module of the attached Guile process. This is fine, but it would be nice if a completion function compatible with `hippie-expand' was provided, so that one can plug it in the middle of other completion functions. * Module Unloading/Reloading When one is writing code and periodically testing it via GDS, it may sometimes be useful to tell GDS to entirely unload/reload a given module. This would be particularly helpful when testing features that span several modules. I don't know exactly what would be feasible in this area, and this would certainly require support from Guile itself. Also, I don't know what other Scheme/Lisp development environments allow for in this respect. Does that sound like a useful usage pattern? Thanks, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
