Subj.
I believe Guile have two problems:
-- error messages rarely mention, where real problem is
-- they are also completely unreadable.
Maybe situation with second can be improved, using (ice-9 pretty-print)?
If I can plug it in, please tell me how, if I can't,
maybe someone could make it possible?
Offtopic: Is it any way to write macros to hell not break loose, if
I use it wrong?
Just encountered, just to illustrate my vision of problem.
