Hi, John. Would you mind weighing in on this?

You might also take a look at Jeremy's pull request at
<https://github.com/scheme-requests-for-implementation/srfi-113/pull/9>.

Thanks.

| Hello all,
|
| Today I was perusing through the SRFI docs in an attempt to use `set-map`. To
| my surprise the argument order specified by the SRFI document were slightly
| backwards to the code. The problem is on lines 600 to 618 in srfi-impl.scm.
| You can find this online at
| https://github.com/scheme-requests-for-implementation/srfi-113/blob/master/sets
| /sets-impl.scm.
|
|
| The offending parts are as follows:
|
|     (define (sob-map proc comparator sob)
|       (let ((result (make-sob comparator (sob-multi? sob))))
|         (hash-table-for-each
|           (lambda (key value) (sob-increment! result (proc key) value))
|           (sob-hash-table sob))
|         result))
|
|     (define (set-map comparator proc set)
|       (check-set set)
|       (sob-map comparator proc set))
|
|     (define (bag-map comparator proc bag)
|       (check-bag bag)
|       (sob-map comparator proc bag))
|
| Basically, sob-map, which implements the actual mapping process over a set or
| a bag, has a different argument order than what set-map or bag-map uses. I
| think the intent (and IMO, the more pleasant) of the two argument orders is
| that it goes (set-map comparator proc set). Thus I propose that the argument
| order in sob-map be changed so that proc and comparator are swapped. This
| will put the implementation in line with the SRFI document, and shouldn't
| require publishing any errata (outside of documenting the fact that this bug
| existed, perhaps).
|
| I will submit a pull-request shortly on Github to reflect this change. For
| those who are using the CHICKEN Scheme egg for this SRFI, I have already
| applied and uploaded this change (can be reverted if a different solution is
| preferred).
|
