Hello!
I think Mark made two kinds of comments back then:
1. There were suggestions about the API itself, nothing deep:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2014-04/msg00070.html>.
Andy, do you know if they’ve been addressed?
2. A general concern about “API churn” and our ability to support the
SMOB API in the future, which I can sympathize with:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2015-11/msg00005.html>.
Essentially, (1) it should be easy for people to migrate from SMOBs
to foreign objects (I think it’s largely a matter of
documentation), and (2) existing code that uses the documented SMOB
API should just work in 2.2, possibly with a deprecation warning.
It may be that we’re already mostly there (?). If we get these two
things right, then I have nothing against adding foreign objects in 2.2.
Mark?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
