I was never happy with that macro and > with the modules, the need for it isn't really there any more. didn't read the NEWS file, i just thought it was supposed to work because the error was 'during expansion of define-extension'... so far, using the new hygienic chicken has been a pleasure! i'm probably going to upload my first "hygienic egg" later today. i don't think i'll be using the old chicken again for anything new... just porting the directfb egg might be a bit of work... would it be possible to add a way to augment the set of exported bindings from inside a module (or more specifically, in a macro that is used in the module). like i could define a macro that expands to (define (some-computed-name ...) ...) (declare (export some-computed-name)) in the old chicken. that would save a lot of typing with those numerous directfb structure-accessors. anyway, i think the new hygienic version is a great step in the development of chicken - thanks, felix, for making it happen! bye, hans. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
