Self evaluated `t' in Guile 1.4

[Ivan Toshkov]

Hello,

I'm using Guile 1.4 and 1.4.1 on an i386 RedHat Linux 6.2 and here's
what happens:

$ guile
guile> (version)
"1.4.1"
guile> t
t

I've tried 1.3, and it's giving me the correct error message.

Haven't tested with 1.3.x

You're right that we would need to support both the R5RS primitives
and the more generous primitives if we wanted to keep the extra
support.

However, I don't think multiple parameters of eq? and friends is
sufficiently useful to motivate extra support for it.

I suggest you just remove this extra functionality.

Best regards,
