True that the math procedures are generic in the sense of representations, but they are not generic in the sense of handling something other than numbers. Write and display are truly generic. Cons is not generic: it simply doesn't care about the type of its arguments. I already discussed port? as a special case. -- How comes city and country to be filled with drones John Cowan and rogues, our highways with hackers, and all [email protected] places with sloth and wickedness? http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --W.
