That is, whenever load-from-path sees that it should compile a file, and autocompilation is enabled, it compiles the file then and there. I went ahead and enabled this feature, to see exactly what kinds of bugs this will cause. There's a lot of trickiness to this, but I think we all have instincts on how this should work. I'll write docs soon, but in the meantime, I would like for folks to ignore the implementation, and just use Guile for a while, and see if what it does sounds right to you. It prints some status info on the console when autocompiling. Of course, after the gut reaction, I would appreciate implementation criticisms as well :) Regards, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
