No, it was mine. I wrote an implementation of SRFI 63 (for both PLT and Scheme 48) so as to really understand the specification (for which I was an editor). It turned up a number of bugs in the reference implementation and SLIB (one and the same), which were subsequently patched (I think revisions 1.36-1.43[*] were mostly due to the correspondence I was having with Aubrey at this time). According to Chongkai (I haven't confirmed), the PLT implementation had bugs in the contract I attached to the module. What this has to do with the merits of SRFI 63 or the draft R6RS, I have no idea. > | If now there is a vote for SRFI-63, I will definitely vote for no. > > I am sorry that you hold SRFI-63 responsible for the actions of > someone unknown to its author. Indeed. My own inadequacies shouldn't have any bearing on the matter.
