Hi Mark, Many thanks for contributing this patch. As it is more than a few lines, we would need to get a copyright assignment from you before we could incorporate it into Guile. If you'd be willing to do that, please reply to me off-list and I'll send you the relevant instructions. There's also one technical problem with the patch: the new doc says "newly allocated", which is wrong because these procedures all return interned symbols - which means that an important aspect of them is that they will return an existing symbol if there is one with the right name. Would you like to propose some new wording to allow for this? Alternatively, and assuming that you're happy to do the copyright assignment, I'm sure I could think up something when I apply the patch. Regards, Neil
