And I am *not* saying that Guile should allow names to be evaluated at run-time. I am just saying that it would be nice if Guile was *compatible* with a system where names can be looked up at run-time. > I think supporting separate compilation is a goal for the future > Guile module system. Of course. I was only requesting a *syntactic* change: (MODULE 'NAME) instead of (MODULE NAME). That has no direct implication as to *semantics*, except that it allows a more dynamic system as an extension or option. --Per Bothner Cygnus Solutions bothner@cygnus.com http://www.cygnus.com/~bothner
