Requiring compiler writers to write this extra code, instead of allowing them to reject programs that violate the basic requirements of the language, is a silly waste of implementors' time.
I consider it a silly waste of time for (hopefully) many more Scheme programmers than compiler writers to having to guess why a program was rejected by a compiler that is supposedly R6RS conforming. If the rules are spelled out in one place and in an explicit manner, a compiler (writer) can refer programmers there and the programmer can work around the restrictions.
I do like your classification scheme for R6R Scheme. -- Matthias _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
