Well, that question puts me in a cleft stick. For a long time to come, I'll be writing SRFI code, which means I'll need to make it as portable as possible -- and that means sticking to the existing scsh/irregex core, if I use regular expressions at all. But the reasons I recommend them, which aren't personal, are still significant to me. By the same token, I'm going to be recommending things for specialized vectors and for multi-dimensional arrays which I myself probably won't ever use. -- It was impossible to inveigle John Cowan <cowan@xxxxxxxx> Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Into offering the slightest apology For his Phenomenology. --W.
