I was considering the inclusion of this patch in 1.8. Thus, I initially thought that within the 1.8 branch we shouldn't change feature names _at all_, so we would keep using `i18n' for Gettext, and `ice-9-i18n' for the other. Now, I agree that we should change those names in HEAD. But should we also change them eventually in, say, 1.8.3? >> +(dynamic-call "scm_init_i18n" >> + (dynamic-link "libguile-i18n-v0")) > > You should use (load-extension ...) here instead. Then if someone > wants to link the i18n lib statically, they can. Ok, I'll do it.
