Re: Case-sensitivity.


My 2 cents worth are these:

o what value is there making guile different to RnRS when the
non-compliant behaviour can be enabled
   so easily if desired?

o some SLIB modules (for example, yasos) currently don't load properly
without an (admittedly trivial) guile specific hack

Now, one might claim that SLIB should be more conservative in its use of
case. Maybe. But it doesn't change the fact that SLIB's present usage is
completely consistent with the current language specification. If
something should change, I really do think it should be the non-compliant
thing unless there is a very, very good reason to do otherwise.
