Some comments on specific properties Zhu Zihao 17 Aug 2026 05:12 UTC
Hi Artyom.

I have some comments on specific properties.

1. 'boolean->integer' may be named 'boolean->bits', to emphasize that it's
the bit representation of a boolean.

2. 'char->integer' may be named 'char-code-point', and specify it to
return the Unicode code point of a character. However, given that some
implementations may support characters other than Unicode, this is open
to debate.

3. 'utf8->string' should specify that it interprets the bytevector under
the UTF-8 encoding, and also consider adding utf16->string,
utf32->string properties.

4. This SRFI doesn't specify how record inspector properties interact
with the "opaque" record in R6RS, which is prohibits any level of
inspection in principle. Perhaps the SRFI should note that "if a record
is an opaque record, the record properties specified in this SRFI may
not be available."
