What's up with this?
CHICKEN
Version 3.0.0 - linux-unix-gnu-x86 [ manyargs dload ptables
applyhook ]
...
csi> (require-extension srfi-13)
; loading library srfi-13 ...
csi> (require-extension posix)
; loading library posix ...
csi> (define sysname (car (system-information)))
csi> (string= sysname "Dogbreath")
#f
csi> (string= sysname "Linux")
5
I realize that from the perspective of boolean tests, 5 is just as true
as #t, so maybe it doesn't really matter, but wouldn't it be preferable
to return a canonical boolean value? Is there a big performance
advantage to returning an integer?
