Yes there is, and it is. (no apologies) It's poetic, and insider, and silly yet it is expressive, I think, about recognition of an interesting aspect of the design space of Scheme and the choices made by R6 relative to that design space, as well as to the somewhat free-style form of discussion that the more technical messages had as subtext. It's a graceful rhetorical move to fade out a particular set of threads without absolute resolution while still acking, abstractly, some of the legit content of those threads. -t _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
