Re: Unbound variable warning/exception

[Massimiliano Gubinelli <m.gubinelli@gmail.com>]

Thanks, there is indeed some interesting and useful code there. 

However I would prefer not to make large changes in this moment.  I removed most of the warnings by proper use of modules but we still have some circular dependencies among modules and these are sources of some warning which for the moment I just want to silence. I think as long as they are warnings there should be the option to suppress them. There is no error in the code, but the current way circular module dependence in guile is handled does not recognize it... 

Best,
Max

I wanted to give a look around to understand what are good design patterns to use Guile 2+ as extension language.
