I agree, and proposed LAZY and EAGER as ticket #55. However, the WG voted it down on the strength of Alex's arguments at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/scheme-reports-wg1/qzAeT7395Sk/fTlT-BYTVysJ . If you can rebut these, please do. -- John Cowan http://ccil.org/~cowan [email protected] [P]olice in many lands are now complaining that local arrestees are insisting on having their Miranda rights read to them, just like perps in American TV cop shows. When it's explained to them that they are in a different country, where those rights do not exist, they become outraged. --Neal Stephenson _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
