Partitioning the problem space Lassi Kortela 09 May 2019 13:05 UTC
There are several largely disjoint sub-problems tackled by this SRFI: - Processes, signals, file descriptors, user and group IDs - File system (i.e. dealing with files by name instead of fd/port) - Glob syntax (could be implemented in fully portable Scheme) - User and group information (getpwent() et.al.) - Text terminal facilities (tty, curses, Windows console) - Networking and sockets (currently out of scope for this SRFI) Are we being overambitious? Should we partition things into multiple SRFIs?
