Presumab= ly it would take a little bit of writing to provide more introductory text and transitions between the different parts of the API. I understand. It won't be difficult to fill things out this way. [placement] Perhaps under =E2=80=9CSimple Generic Data Types=E2=80=9D, after =E2=80= =9CStrings=E2=80=9D. What do you think? That doesn't seem right. A gap-buffer is (conceptually) simple, but this particular implementation is not generic in the sense that the only support= ed fundamental type at the moment is the single ubyte (not even the character). [(simple) test cases file] Just drop it under =E2=80=98test-suite/tests=E2=80=99, with a =E2=80=98d= efine-module=E2=80=99. A few comments on what the tests do would be welcome too as it looks a bit dense at first sight. :-) OK. I'll post a patch to guile-devel in the next few days. thi
