Hello Felix,

playing around with the ftl egg, I noticed the following behaviour that
looks broken to me:

  - The interfaces v=vector and v=string contain length methods that
    return an element of the vector / string instead of its length.
  - The interfaces i=reverse-vector, i=reverse=string and i=reverse-%v
    don't transverse their input from the end but rather return
    (length <input>) times the first element.

A patch against the current subversion trunk fixing these things is
attached to the e-mail.

Additionally I suggest the following handy output and accumulator
interfaces:

  ;;; A string output collector.
  (define o=string
    (o-interface
     ;; create
     (lambda (#!optional dst)
       (or dst ""))
     ;; write
     (lambda (obj out)
       (conc out obj))
     ;; result
     identity))

  (define a=string
    (a=%o o=string))

cu,
Thomas
