FWIW I’m personally not fond of ‘(ice-9 q)’ because it’s undocumented
it provides an imperative interface.
I infer an "although" in that sentence. Re (ice-9 foo) documentation, i
took some pains to fill in the gaps w/ Guile 1.4.x:
- http://www.gnuvola.org/software/guile/doc/Module-Index.html
Shall i submit those (the relevant ones) as doc patches?
I have a functional implementation of purely functional FIFO queues
(F. W. Burton, "An Efficient Implementation of FIFO Queues"), which
I’d rather push instead of an imperative one.
Note that (ice-9 q) can add to the head of the queue, too. A quick scan
of <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/2000/FoundsCS/queues.ML> doesn't
seem to show similar functionality.
Besides, the first idiom at [0] is about as concise as the one that uses
this API; in addition, it is likely to be more widely understood than
the latter. This makes this API unappealing to me.
I'm sorry, i don't follow. What are you referring to as "the latter"?
Heh, although I’m unconvinced about this one module I hope we can find
ways to help port your software!
OK. I'll look for other ways to be lazy...
Hmmm, would it be possible to install (ice-9 accumulate) as is, w/o
changes, somewhere under ${prefix}/share/guile (perhaps a site/ dir)?
Would Guile be able to locate and load it?
