Thank you for all the effort! The result is very useful and looks great. > Yes, that's my problem with “object”. Unfortunately, it has a lot of > meanings in the Lisp world and elsewhere (remember Alan Kay's comment on > whether C++ is object-oriented). The word "value" is similarly a bit problematic since it generally carries a connotation of immutability whereas many Scheme values are mutable. We probably can't win. In Lisp circles there would seem to be a cultural understanding that objects do not necessarily imply classes and methods, though the overloaded meaning can confuse people coming from newer languages.
