I do think so, and I think R6RS needs some further string functions in order to make it possible. Such functions can be provided by the implementation in a way that breaks the scalar-value abstraction. -- John Cowan http://ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday we watch-a Firefly's house, but he no come out. He wasn't home. Tuesday we go to the ball game, but he fool us. He no show up. Wednesday he go to the ball game, and we fool him. We no show up. Thursday was a double-header. Nobody show up. Friday it rained all day. There was no ball game, so we stayed home and we listened to it on-a the radio. --Chicolini _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
