Revised SRFI-76 (R6RS Records) draft

This page is part of the web mail archives of SRFI 76 from before July 7th, 2015. The new archives for SRFI 76 contain all messages, not just those from before July 7th, 2015.

Folks,
A revised draft of SRFI-76 (R6RS Records) has been posted, and the draft period extended to 2006-04-01. 

As described by the authors, the following changes have been made:

- We completely replaced the constructor mechanism by a more
  orthogonal and simpler one.  The INIT! clause has been removed as a
  consequence.

- The issue and rationale sections have been removed.

- Fields ids must be integers now.

- The default for opacity has reverted to "transparent".

- The reference implementation is now based on the more primitive
  notions of "vector types" and "opaque cells."

- Added RECORD-TYPE-GENERATIVE?

- The operand to the SEALED and OPAQUE clauses is restricted to #t and
  #f literally.

- The syntactic form has been renamed to DEFINE-RECORD-TYPE, with
  other renames in its wake.

- Many minor edits.
