Hi Andy,

Not a blocker, at all, but I was thinking to this, wrt manipulating (very) large
vectors, arrays, lists ...

-]	repl - truncated-print

Right now I edit the installed (system repl common), and wrote a tip in Guile-CV's
manual so users can do that as well:  less then optimal :).  It would be nice to
provide an option, so users could set it 'just like that', in the repl, or as a
global config in their .guile (I did see lloda does that in his for arrays, but it's
not an obvious option to set, it is a 'sophisticated' little piece of code (for an
end-user at least)).

-]	error(s) while manipulating (very) large vectors or arrays

Unlike the above, it appears there is currently no way to have error (the procedure)
and raised exceptions in general, to use truncated-print, it would be cool to 'link'
the above option so error reports use it as well.


WDYT?
David
