I'm not all that familiar with the issue since it wasn't my bug, and so I'd like to understand all the considerations. these were all discussed before. when you ask people to repeat themselves, they tend to reply obliquely at best, just to keep interested. part of maintaining the bugs database is to add relevant discussion to the file so that everyone can see the thinking process clearly (which reduces rehash). alternatively we can be wombats, completely forgetting that research can be viewed as a proper supserset of search. for example, i recently asked about difference between characterset designs, w/o doing the requisite digging. the resulting silence tells me this was unwise. thi _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
