There are probably more. Fundamentally, I’m not sure what this flag is supposed to mean. AFAICS, there’s no way to create a non-contiguous bytevector (or SRFI-4 vector). This flag was added in 7ed54fd36d2e381aa46ef8a7d2fc13a6776b573a. My guess is that it was part of plan that wasn’t carried out in the end. Andy, thoughts? :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
