What exactly are you trying to > accomplish? I am writing a library that mimics R6RS records. Every R6RS record-type can be associated to a unique identifier (UID), which is a symbol. Defining the same record-type in multiple modules is fine, under the correct conditions. Using the UID as struct type name, and so implementing records as simple CHICKEN structs, seems an efficient way to do it. -- Marco Maggi _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
