New draft (#2) and last call for comments on SRFI 162: Comparators sublibrary Arthur A. Gleckler 27 Feb 2019 22:30 UTC

I've just published draft #2 of SRFI 162.  It was submitted by
John Cowan, author of the SRFI.

  <https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-162/>

John has asked me to announce "last call" for this SRFI.  He
believes that it is ready for finalization, but would like to give
reviewers one last chance to submit corrections and feedback
before we finalize it.

In particular, I appeal to anyone reading this to try the sample
implementation, run the tests, and send feedback about your
results.

If you're interested in this SRFI, please give your feedback via
the SRFI 162 mailing list before 3/7/2019.  After that, assuming
that no major revisions are required, we will declare it final.

Here are John's comments on the draft:

  This is the last-call release of SRFI 162.  In addition to the
  bare srfi-162-impl.scm, it includes a copy of the SRFI 128
  sample implementation with the SRFI 162 code included and the
  library files appropriately modified.  This should serve as a
  drop-in replacement for existing SRFI 128 libraries based on the
  sample implementation.

  In addition, the definition of `char-ci-comparator` has been
  corrected.

Here's the diff:
