Grump. Languages should be designed, not by deciding what makes life easy for a compiler, but by deciding what makes life easy for the user! I'll be very, very, very, very, very upset if we end up with a standard that breaks the very simple model of interaction that we've had for 50 years. If you want to have an optional feature that lets you say (pragma no-redefine) or something in your compiler, that's fine. _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
