Fixing it with define-strict is ridiculous, as y is still mutable, it is the string "hello" which is not. As for mutable strings, I consider them a mistake to begin with, but if people expect them to be be mutable, and historically they are mutable (in guile), it is a mistake to change this without prior warning. -- Ian Price "Programming is like pinball.
