Perhaps based on the r7rs-tasks page? I can try to figure out something for the import-for-syntax. The thing about "define-values" is related to not being able to handle extended (DSSSL) lambda-lists, is that correct? If yes, we can probably ignore that for the time being. Oh, and thanks very much for putting so much effort into the r7rs egg. Well done, indeed! I will try to give it some testing and perhaps I can fix a few open issues. felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
