I suggest 8.13.2 Interfaces from Guile to `make' explicitly state that (for those unfamiliar w/ Scheme), and then liberally specify "function" for Make functions and "procedure" for Scheme procedures. - The =E2=80=98#t =3D> t=E2=80=99 distinguishes the symbol t from others, w= hich feels wrong. I suggest #t =3D> ""; #f =3D> error. - Give more details for =E2=80=98other =3D> error=E2=80=99. Since this fea= ture is new, there will be many debugging opportunities :-D, so the better you define this condition, the easier it will be for users to use, and for you to get feedback for further iteration. That's all. Looking forward to playing w/ this feature!
