Subject: legacy object properties
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 11:11:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170622091112.66nrvvy466hog3yy@doriath.local> (raw)

Hi,

The Reference Manual documents a number of procedures for handling
object properties based on association lists
(https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Object-Properties.html).
However it says: “this is a legacy interface; you should use weak hash
tables or object properties instead“.  Does that mean that support for
this kind of object properties will be removed in the future?  In my
opinion the suggested alternatives aren't nearly as handy as the
so-called legacy interface.

Cheers.
