Two extensions may be incompatible on one implementation, but (perhaps) not on another.And therefore this (i.e. compatibility checking) is a requirement I would like to put on the Scheme implementations.Would you have a specific example in mind?One I forgot - and one I have just found using grep: from http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-47/srfi-47.html : " * The array-set! argument order is different from the same-named procedure in SRFI-25. Type dispatch on the first argument to array-set! could support both SRFIs simultaneously. * The make-array arguments are different from the same-named procedure in SRFI-25. Type dispatch on the first argument to make-array could support both SRFIs simultaneously."
To help users at least a little, I would propose to add a remark in this SRFI document that implementations are encouraged to check for conflicts, but I would definitely not require it. cheers, felix
