Maybe the charset tables could be reinitialized in scm_setlocale (when setting LC_ALL or LC_CTYPE). I suppose that'd be moderately helpful, and would make char-alphabetic? etc match how 1.6 worked. But I guess really the notion of what a character represents beyond ascii isn't specified yet. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
