Re: bug in read?

[Luigi Semenzato]

Thank you for the explanation.

Does anybody know then why the Guile manual replicates
sections of r5rs instead of just pointing to them?
It's redundant and it leads to this kind of problems.

If Guile is Scheme version blah with some additions and
some omissions, shouldn't the manual just document
the additions and the omissions?

I don't mean to whine or lecture.  I am just wondering.

Thanks!
Luigi
