This is the last time I'll respond here to things which should be discussed at the SRFIs' mailing lists.

I did that because I need feedback and it's too late to put the new issues in the Issues section of the current draft. I announced it here also because the latest revision did not include the issues when it was announced here. > I feel like you snuck in the mandated file name > extension and multiple dialect support in the previous revision without > much discussion. :-) I didn't sneak it in and it's up for discussion at the appropriate place, as you would have noticed if you had read the previous revision and were at the mailing list. I did ask for feedback about it by putting it in the most prominent official place for doing so: the Issues section. > I'm actually somewhat opposed to those changes and > would have mentioned this if they had been up for discussion. The new extensions design changes were completely and clearly listed in the Issues section of the previous revision of SRFI 103, for 2 months. I was also somewhat opposed to the changes at first, but as it sank in, I realized it's objectively superior for a number of reasons, and it's nearly the same as the old design. Before you argue more about this, you should read a recent response of mine to arguments against it [1]. (Incidentally, I decided I won't put my name on the old extensions design, and I'll quit and withdraw the SRFIs if the new design won't be adopted, and I won't support anyone else's proposal which promotes .sls and .SYS.sls. I'm convinced it's that important and that easy to transition to.) > You may forward my note to the SRFI list. I won't. Join the list.
