I agree, and we should encourage this. However... I find Cowan’s proposal for string iteration and the R6RS editors response interesting: http://www.r6rs.org/formal-comments/comment-235.txt I also think strings should remain what they currently are, with O(1) random access. I think anything beyond that may require a new API, perhaps with a new data type, which would deserve a SRFI with wider discussion. Thanks, Ludo’.
