SRFI-105.... last call!

This page is part of the web mail archives of SRFI 105 from before July 7th, 2015. The new archives for SRFI 105 contain all messages, not just those from before July 7th, 2015.



I found a minor grammar error in the posting yesterday; patch to fix is below (which I'll put in a later update).

The last version includes some interesting citations related to precedence, in particular a quantitative study.  I think they give strong evidence for the reasonableness of the approach, so I pulled them in.

I don't know of anything else that needs doing; my intent is for the next revision to be the last one.  Comments?
