It would be really handy for me right now to be able to match on
flvectors, and I think it's useful enough for minimal Racket. I've
already tried this option:
1. Export flvector as a match expander from racket/flonum
but racket/match depends on racket/flonum somehow. So I looked through
the match code and determined that this one would be pretty easy:
2. Change racket/match to recognize patterns with 'flvector head
(The code is very clean; kudos to whoever last rewrote it. :D)
I think #2 would at worst hijack someone's custom flvector match
expander, but probably do the same thing or better (e.g. also handle
ellipses). But in case it's worse than I think, I can always go with this:
3. Export flvector as a match expander from math/flonum
Question for the match and syntax gurus: would doing #2 be safe enough,
or should I do #3? Or have I got it backwards; i.e. is #2 actually safer
than #3?
