OK, but I'm using 1.5.6, with an un-modified (ice-9 boot), and readline in my .guile, when I start Guile I can do this: ---8<--- guile> ( Display all 1589 possibilities? (y or n) n guile> ( ---8<--- One thousand, five hundred and eighty-nine completions, out of the box, without (use-modules)'ing anything. Now, you can say that that's all out of stuff added with (ice-9 boot), but regardless of where it comes from, this is what I see when I start Guile. I think this might make Guile the largest language in history. I don't think Common Lisp has more than six or seven hundred or so built-ins. ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou evan@glug.org _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
