to me it sounds like the way to go; i always wanted to have a module
system in the core that can be used by eggs without worrying about
dependencies or incompatibilities. the same is true for a hygienic
macro system i guess ... but i haven't used hygienic macros a lot
before.
my question is: will it still be possible to write a (er-) macro that
creates new identifiers like define-record does? from previous
postings i got differing impressions.
i know it's not considered good style to do that but it saved me a lot
of typing in the directfb egg and those macros are only used
internally and not made available to user code.
tnx&bye,
hans.
