I'm not sure there's an "official position" regarding this. Personally, I consider that it's always good to support more SRFIs, at least because it makes Guile more directly usable by Scheme hackers. I haven't looked in detail at SRFI-18. Adding support for it should not force us to introduce incompatible changes in the core API, though. Specifying behavior that used to be unspecified might be acceptable, but changing type predicates isn't, I guess. Thus, you'd need to pinpoint what can be implemented without changing the core API (e.g., do the SRFI-18 type predicates really require changes in the core type predicates, or can they be implemented without changing the core API?), what requires changes/additions in the core API, etc. Thanks, Ludovic. PS: BTW, I'll hopefully look at your patch sometime next week. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
