Formal Comment Submitter's name: Marc Feeley Submitter's email: feeley at iro.umontreal.ca Relevant draft: r7rs draft 6
Type: defect Priority: major Relevant section of draft: 6.7. Strings, 6.8. Vectors, 6.9. Bytevectors, 6.10. Control features Summary: Generalization of append, map, and for-each to other sequences R7RS has three vector-like data types: strings, vectors and bytevectors. The procedure (string-append string ...) exists to concatenate strings, like append concatenates lists. However there is no vector-append and bytevector-append which concatenate vectors and bytevectors. The procedures (string-map proc string1 string2 ...) (vector-map proc vector1 vector2 ...) (string-for-each proc string1 string2 ...) (vector-for-each proc vector1 vector2 ...) are for strings and vectors what map and for-each are for lists. There is no such procedures for bytevectors. For consistency, these missing procedures should be added. _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
