There was no keyboard involved - it was a matter of skimming through a log of results from different implementations and not being able to recognize one. As you said: [Cowan]: [Summary of which impls return #t for eq? for empty strings and for empty vectors, saying most impls return #f for both and listing only exceptions]. [Shinn]: You missed Chibi, which returns #true for vectors and #false for strings and bytevectors. [Cowan]: Right; it didn't jump out of the log. I went back and scrutinized the log more carefully, and there are no more cases. This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about - long lists of alternating #t and #f are hard to read. -- Alex _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
