It will be fixed.
I think this is a mistake, but "fixing" it is harder than it seems. Really, this is totally non-schemey. The criterion should be an exact integer, just as it is for arrays. Instead of allowing inexact integers to be file positions, how about extending the hierarchy to handle these cases directly? _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
