I had in mind that the compiler could use the bit to decide if it is allowed to inline some functions (such as '+', 'car', ...) but I no longer think that would be the right way. Also, it would be needed for dumb variables when there are no separate setter and getter flags, but I think we should have these two flags. So let's forget about the read-only bit for now, I'd say. -- GPG: D5D4E405 - 2F9B BCCC 8527 692A 04E3 331E FAF8 226A D5D4 E405 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
