____________________________________________
* `help' capabilities expanded
The `help' command, available after loading module (ice-9 session), now
accepts a quoted symbol, in which case non-resident documentation (i.e.,
guile-procedures.txt) is consulted.
For example: (help 'acons)
Also now accepted is an unquoted list of symbols, in which case the list is
interpreted as a module name and its commentary is displayed if available.
See `file-commentary' immediately following. The module is not loaded.
For example: (help (scripts lint))
* New procs in (ice-9 documentation)
Loading (ice-9 documentation) provides two new procs:
(file-commentary FILENAME [IN-LINE-RE [AFTER-LINE-RE [SCRUB]]])
(search-documentation-files NAME [FILES-LIST])
See commentary for more info.
* New module (ice-9 gap-buffer)
This provides the gap-buffer data structure, which is basically a string
that supports "point" and efficient insertion/deletion similar to Emacs
(not coincidentally). The exported procs are:
(make-gap-buffer . INIT)
(gb-point GB)
(gb-point-min GB)
(gb-point-max GB)
(gb-insert-string! GB STRING)
(gb-insert-char! GB CHAR)
(gb-delete-char! GB COUNT)
(gb-goto-char GB LOCATION)
(gb->port! GB PORT)
(gb->string GB)
(gb-filter! GB STRING-PROC)
(gb->lines GB)
(gb-filter-lines! GB LINES-PROC)
(make-gap-buffer-port GB)
* New module (ice-9 pretty-print)
This provides the procedure `pretty-print' documented in the manual.
Additionally, the `format' from (ice-9 format) now uses `pretty-print'
to handle its ~Y directive. For example, these two programs produce
identical output:
;; program the first
(use-modules (ice-9 pretty-print))
(pretty-print (procedure-source top-repl))
;; program the second
(use-modules (ice-9 format))
(format #t "~Y" (procedure-source top-repl))
