To keep things in a definition context, or whatever the technical term
is, I'd assume.
Going only by the code mentioned in the mail, It seems eliminatable
though. For example, instead of
(define dummy
(let ()
(register-record-type
(quote record-name)
record-name (make-record-constructor-descriptor
record-name #,parent-cd #,protocol))
'dummy))
(define predicate-name (record-predicate record-name))
I'd guess that following works too, avoiding 'dummy', by moving the
things into the definition of predicate-name:
(define predicate-name
(let ()
(register-record-type
(quote record-name)
record-name (make-record-constructor-descriptor
record-name #,parent-cd #,protocol))
(record-predicate record-name)))
This assumes that field-accessors and field-mutators don't refer to 'dummy'.
