Well, okay, as far as that goes. Maybe I should have mentioned that
I am more-or-less a newbie ... this is my 2nd or 3rd time learning
Scheme, so I know a few things, but my vocabulary and knowledge of
which functions are where are quite limited, e.g., I had forgotten
that string=? existed. Nonetheless, I do read documentation, and
SRFI-13 says:
string= s1 s2 [start1 end1 start2 end2] -> boolean
So I am curious why the Chicken implementation returns an integer.
Scheme treats any value (not (eq? value #f)) as #t so 5 is #t for the
purposes of truth testing. SRFI-13 'string=' has extra meaning vs.
'string=?'.
