John, can you elaborate on such design? Particularity, is there an equivalent to string-ref in this model? If there is none, how do you decompose a string? It seems that substring searching or regexp-matching without chars is only doable after you encode a string and store it in a byte array, which is not very convenient; any way around that? Feel free to point me to previous messages, since I skipped parts of the unicode discussion. _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
