Tough call. We just _can't_ offer a SRFI-1 that doesn't work like the SRFI document says. That would be silly. It's also impossible to fix this in a backwards compatible way. The SRFI must win, so we have to break backwards compatability. Kevin, please make the change in 1.6 as well and put a nice big note at the top of NEWS. -- 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
