I hope you will continue to participate in this and other SRFIs. I think it is frustrating when it appears that the rejection hasn't taken the raised concerns into account. > In response to Harold: I can't of course veto future SRFIs. I simply don't want to take out the existing bare-bones support on the assumption that it will make it into a future SRFI (and thus into R7RS-large and/or actual implementations). We have to wait for further SRFIs or clarifications anyway because I don't see how to write portable code with fdos unless some actual guarantees are made for some ports to actually have non-trivial fdos. Most of the section 3.2 doesn't really read like a specification. PS How can I find out whether (current-input-port) or (current-output-port) is a terminal?
