As others have said, this has to do with the numbering system for Scheme Requests For Implementation at <http://srfi.schemers.org/> http://srfi.schemers.org/>, but I agree that more memorable module names like (date) would be useful for commonly used SRFIs.
On the subject of SRFIs, which ones do you fellow Schemers use? I think the ones I use most often are SRFI-1, SRFI-9, SRFI-11, SRFI-26, SRFI-37, and SRFI-41.
- agumonkey 11y agoWeren't aliases proposed ? what would you think ? The SRFI system is not user friendly. It feels like typing binary cpu opcode.
- GregBuchholz 11y ago>Weren't aliases proposed? ...sounds like a good candidate for an SRFI...
- agumonkey 11y agoSRFI-927 I guess
- davexunit 11y agoI think some sort of alias would be good. Perhaps it could implemented as a module that just re-exports all of the public symbols from the relevant SRFI module. Needs discussion on guile-devel.
- agumonkey 11y agoSomehow similar to meta packages in linux distributions ? pragmatic.
