Thanks, this answered my next question ;) > Hm. ",x" Works for me. What output do you get? I take back what I said. I cannot reproduce the problem. Who knows what happened, anyway now it seems to be okay. > Keep in mind that this is really quite experimental (it isn't officially > announced yet). We are working on the bleeding edge here... ;-) Yes, this is why I waited some time before trying it, to have things settled down for me ;) I read the first announcement on c.l.s. a while ago and I thought it was too good to be true. What I like the most is the module system, I have yet to test it seriously, but at least the description in the SRFI document makes sense and it is more or less what I had desired for a module system for my first day in Scheme (I remember at that time I escaped from the Mzscheme module system which I felt overcomplicated; I also hated the fact that it forced me to write macro definitions and helper functions in separate modules, for reasons that never convinced me). A thing I have always looked at with suspicion in Chicken (suspicion of being more complicated than needed) is eval-when: OTOH, van Tonder's system works in a pretty obvious and reasonable way (by default things are evaluated both at compile time and import time; if you want to evaluate things at compile time only you say so and if you want to evaluate things at import time only you say so: the quintessence of semplicity). Still I do not understand why things should be more complicated than that and which are the pittfalls of van Tonder's system (if any). I should have some time in the next days to test the module system more in details and to see how it goes. So expect some other feedback! P.S. I forgot: thanks for including srfi-72 in Chicken so soon! _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
