Creating Objects from the .scm file

[Fernando Diaz]

This is perhaps a related question since it seems you want to use Scheme
files to define an instance variable beyond the base types (int, float,
etc). Is it possible to define a variable as the result of a function
call?  eg,

 (list
  (cons 'george
        (make-instance 'FlyingMonkey
                      #:wingspan  dGetNormal(25.5,5.0)
                      ...

Or some grammatically correct variation...

My guess is no since it seems the point of Scheme is to archive.
