> how about a TAB feature in the Guile Shell? That would make it > easier to find functions. The reference manual does not do this job. Guile doesn't have this currently (although this reminds me of something -- if Guile gets a readline-based repl then TAB-completion should do something more useful than completing on filenames in the current directory), but it does have an apropos procedure that's even more useful, if a bit less convenient: guile> (apropos "car") the-root-module: set-car! #<primitive-procedure set-car!> the-root-module: car #<primitive-procedure car> guile> (apropos "thread") the-root-module: single-active-thread? #<primitive-procedure single-active-thread?> the-root-module: join-thread #<primitive-procedure join-thread> the-root-module: call-with-new-thread #<primitive-procedure call-with-new-thread> threads: begin-thread threads: make-thread It would be probably be nice if apropos checked docstrings as well (perhaps optionally), and if the procedures implemented in C had docstrings. But apropos is still pretty cool as it is. - Maciej Stachowiak
