Discuss yes, define no: We really only talk about the behavior of the *script interpreters* rather than the REPL or the "usual" behavior of the underlying Scheme implementation. (There may not even *be* a REPL.) Moreover, the interactive environment of some Scheme implementations doesn't work via the LOAD procedure, but rather via an extralinguistic mechanism (a GUI or a REPL escape as in Scheme 48). I'd like to add something akin to this, though: Scheme implementations with an interactive development environment which support SRFI 22 are encouraged to also support loading Scheme scripts into that environment. How's that? Erik> I know this is a very late comment, and I don't feel any discussion of Erik> this should delay finalization of srfi 22. No problems. It certainly hasn't kept others from bashing the draft :-) -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
