Interesting. So, if I understand correctly, when an import form is executed, Declarations are created at runtime? If you wanted to, could the creation of the Declarations, etc. be exposed as Scheme primitives in a useful way? This would allow one to write Scheme code that wires together existing modules dynamically, and perhaps to implement your module system at the Scheme level. Does this make any sense? _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
