Not a procedure. Tell me, how do you justify in terms of jewel-like beauty the pair- and list-related procedures in section 6.3.2? Some are primitives, the rest are -- whatever happened to be around. Any or all of SRFI 1 (little or none of which was new even then) could have been in RnRS. Yet they aren't. Jewel-like beauty? More like adhocracy. -- We are lost, lost. No name, no business, no Precious, nothing. Only empty. Only hungry: yes, we are hungry. A few little fishes, nassty bony little fishes, for a poor creature, and they say death. So wise they are; so just, so very just. --Gollum [email protected] http://ccil.org/~cowan _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
