I'm personally not aware of any eggs that specifically match your request. But there are these eggs, which I tend to use more often than others:
Misc Macros <http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/miscmacros> More Macros <http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/moremacros> lookup-table <http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/lookup-table> Sequences <http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/sequences> SRFI-99 <http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/srfi-99> Less general, but still often useful: SRFI-45 <http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/srfi-45> lazy-seq <http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/lazy-seq> -Dan On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 6:35 AM, Matt Welland <estifo...@gmail.com> wrote: > (port-map FN THUNK) > > where does the port go? > > I was sort of hoping for something like this to work: > > csi> (define inp (open-input-file "~/.bashrc")) > csi> (define a (port-map inp read-line)) > csi> (close-input-file inp) > > but it took guessing to figure out the intended usage.
