Hear, hear! If the standardization process is to have any hope of success, it will have to start with well-understood, widely implemented ideas where there is general agreement and work to forge detailed agreement. While ideas like first-class environments have been explored in depth, there is still no general agreement even on whether they're worthwhile. They don't belong in a standard -- yet. _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
