Re: Names in libguile

["Greg J. Badros" <gjb at cs dot washington dot edu>]

All of these notes should be summarized and stuck in a file in the
guile-core module (and updated).

One of my pet peeves is that macros ending in P are predicates that
evaluate to a C boolean, gh_foo_p()s are predicate functions that also
return C booleans, but scm_foo_p()s are primitives that return SCM
booleans.  There is a funny interaction that I don't like, there.  I'm
not sure that there's any solid way to fix this since there's already a
lot of code that relies on the gh_ interface.  The void* patch will help 
catch these bugs, but the distinction should at least be made very clear 
up-front in developer docs for Guile if we can't figure out a
backward-compatible reasonable solution.
