Abstract

A means to denote the invalidity of certain code paths in a Scheme program is proposed. It allows Scheme code to turn the evaluation into a user-defined error that need not be signalled by the implementation. Optimizing compilers may use these denotations to produce better code and to issue better warnings about dead code.
