My example is bad: you'd want to use it with a module where all the names begin with the same prefix, or almost all. Another application is to drop the author's prefix and then add your own: (import (prefix (drop-prefix srfi-13 string-) s:)) would change all the SRFI 13 identifiers beginning "string-" to begin "s:" instead (you'd want to change the Scheme identifiers too). An open question is what to do when an identifier is the same as the prefix: Chibi imports it unchanged, Chez changes it to || (the empty identifier). A third possibility is to not import it. -- John Cowan http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org Your worships will perhaps be thinking that it is an easy thing to blow up a dog?
