Yes, I agree. The heap locking thing really is quite a sharp tool... I wouldn't want people to pull it out wantonly. In my current proposal, heap locking wouldn't be implemented before we wouldn't have moved to UTF-8 anyway, so I'll add a copy-to-buffer variant and mark the heap locking stuff as 'maybe, eventually'. -- 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
