Given the performance impacts of rewrapping, it seems like solving that problem should be a prerequisite for changing the semantics of `provide' to automatically add non-trivial contracts. I think it would be pretty problematic to suddenly add repeated list traversals to any code that reprovides identifiers. -- sam th [email protected] _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
