Hi all, I've noticed that there seems to be an inconsistency in the interfaces for the networking functions in (ikarus ipc). All the *-connect* functions take as their second argument a string, which is either a port number or a service name. On the other hand, the tcp-server-socket* functions take the port as a fixnum. Is there any particular reason why the tcp-server-socket* functions do not take a string? Or the *-connect* functions do not take a fixnum for the port number (or possibly a symbol for the service name)?
These aren't pressing issues, but I was a little surprised by the asymmetry. Thanks for any light you can shed on this, Ian
