I vote "yes" because I think it's useful to standardize on the interface for boxes.
However, I'd favor box-ref/box-set! for the names of the getter/setter, for similarity with vectors and strings. Even though it's possible for individual programmers to rename library identifiers, I think that reading others' code is likely to be improved if standard names are chosen so that they would be used in their original form as much as possible. -- Daniel Villeneuve On 02/07/13 01:01 PM, John Cowan wrote: > ----- Forwarded message from John Cowan <[email protected]> ----- > > Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 12:56:55 -0400 > From: John Cowan <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: [scheme-reports-wg2] Call for vote: SRFI 111, Boxes > > The time has come to vote on SRFI 111, Boxes, to determine if it should > become an optional part of the R7RS large language.
