I wonder, could you rework this patch to add a more generic exception-printing mechanism? I'm going to display my ignorance in public and try to write down some types. := is a type definition, and : declares the type of something. exception-printer := port args -> nothing set-exception-printer! : exception-printer -> nothing exception-printer : key -> exception-printer print-exception : key args port -> nothing The default behavior could be hard-coded into print-exception. The first two procedures (set-exception-printer!, exception-printer, and print-exception) could go into boot-9, and the third into (system repl error-handling), or a new module under ice-9. What do you think? Regards, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
