I would strengthen this to just short of actually requiring tests. They don't have to fit a specific test runner: a Scheme script that prints messages when tests fail will suffice. This is 2015, and unit tests should be a standard part of practice. Exceptions would be when the sample implementation is trivial and/or not really meant to be used, just a proof of concept. (My upcoming SRFI on ephemerons will have a completely portable implementation except it won't actually work with any GC.) -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan xxxxxx@ccil.org It is revolting to have no better reason for a rule of law than that so it was laid down in the time of Henry IV. It is still more revolting if the grounds upon which it was laid down have vanished long since, and the rule simply persists from blind imitation of the past. --Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
