Loading R6RS Libraries

Loading R6RS Libraries

[Noah Lavine]

Hello all,

I encountered some behavior I didn't expect, and I'm not sure if it's
intended or not. The following code works fine:

(use-modules (rnrs base))

However, the next two lines both give errors:

(use-modules (rnrs base (6)))
(use-modules (rnrs base 6))

I didn't expect this because the manual refers to an '(rnrs base (6))'
library. Is this what's supposed to be happening?

Thanks,
Noah

That's to be expected -- `use-modules' has a different syntax than R6RS'
`import'. So if you really want to include the version number, you
should do either:

(import (rnrs base (6)))

or

(use-modules ((rnrs base) #:version (6)))
