Re: Symbol arguments to require


Jocelyn Paine wrote:

I'd like to make available some of the Kawa libraries I've written for
general use. A (smallish) difficulty is that all my (require ...)'s refer
to needed modules by absolute class name rather than by symbols. This
makes my code not work on other Schemes, and ties Kawa users to the class
names I've chosen. But my modules have to do this, since the few symbolic
names, such as 'list-lib, that Kawa understands are wired into
kawa.standard.require, so I couldn't add new ones and have them useable by
anyone else.

What should I do?
DO you think the classes are useful enough to include in
gnu/kawa/slib?  If so, we can easily update the require table.

It would be nice to have a machanism to extend the require-table.
But it might require some care.  As I recall, even SLIB itself has
its table hard-wired.
