As stated on IRC I think it is an improvement to have a meaningful name for this module. However as pointed in other replies, It is not possible to implement it this way because (ice-9 q) is a public API. One way to not break backward compatibility, would be to move (ice-9 q) code in (ice-9 queue) and make (ice-9 q) use it and re-export every variable with its old name. Finally we will need a way to give the information that (ice-9 q) module is deprectated to the users. I am not sure what is the best way to achieve this. Maybe with: (eval-when (expand load eval) (display "..." (current-warning-port))) What do others think? -- Mathieu Lirzin
