Abstract

R5RS Scheme has an impoverished set of string-processing utilities, which is a problem for authors of portable code. This SRFI proposes a coherent and comprehensive set of string-processing procedures; it is accompanied by a reference implementation of the spec. The reference implementation is

• portable
• efficient
• open source

The routines in this SRFI are backwards-compatible with the string-processing routines of R5RS.
