Hi,
okay - I got it. But it begs two questions -
1) SICP book already uses that "extension" almost 30 years ago, so
what prevented it to become a standard over that rather longer period
of time. Does it mean that Scheme language predates SICP book somehow?
2) What is the practical application and a canonical example for how to use it?
Best,
Andy
