The benefit is that Guile gets conceptually simpler. It means that we can simplify the manual. It means that it'll be easier to read the code during debugging. It means that it'll be easier for other Schemes, like Kawa, to be compatible with Guile. Of course, we could simply remove this feature from the manual, but it would still mean that people could write potentially unportable code. Since you can accept it and since no-one else has protested I'll remove this feature now. Best regards, /mdj
