You miss my point. We have overwhelming empirical evidence that in some situations it is useful for string-ref to be O(1) and in other situations for it to be O(n). If an implementation is to be Scheme, is its choice between those to be mandated by the report?
If there are two use cases, there should be two APIs. That way, people know what to expect when they use each one. They can write portable programs. They can even handle when both kinds of situations arise in the same program. ...Or was this a metaphor for something else? I guess I'm missing your point too. -j _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
