BTW, I have another question. PLT guarantees left to right evaluation whereas Ikarus clearly does not. Was this intentional (perhaps the Ikarus compiler really takes advantage of the unspecified evaluation order for performance sake) or not?
Yes, it's intentional that the order of evaluation in ikarus is left unspecified. And no, I don't think the compiler takes any advantage of it (it's been a while since I touched that part of the compiler so I could be wrong). Aziz,,,
