Speaking of, anyone know what the status on that is? On the one hand it's nice when using Guile as a quick calculator not to need to type e.g. (/ 456786958 1024 1024.) instead of (/ 456786958 1024 1024), but on the other it's something of a nuisance when dealing with other Scheme code. Were I a better programmer, I'd work on it myself, but I'm not:-( -- Robert Uhl When anti-gun activists list the number of deaths per year from firearms, they neglect to mention that 60 percent of the 30,000 figure they often use are suicides. They also fail to mention that at least three-quarters of the 12,000 homicides are criminals killing other criminals in disputes over illicit drugs,+or police shooting criminals engaged in felonies. Subtracting those, we are left with no more than 3,000 deaths that I think most would consider truly lamentable. _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
