OTOH, ‘ice-9’ is unlikely to ever collide with anything else, so it’s roughly equivalent to ‘guile’, just a little bit more obscure. :-) ‘system’ may be more risky in that respect. ‘guile’ would have been a better choice, but I’m afraid it’s too late (in theory it isn’t, but...). Thoughts? Thanks, Ludo’.
