Re: [PATCH] Extensions for SRFI-171 (Transducers)

[Linus Björnstam]

As the author of both the SRFI and the guile code I am very happy you like it. 
I don't have a computer at the moment, but I looked through the code and it 
looked great.

All additions should have been included in the original SRFI :)

one comment: your code uses define-public, which the rest of SRFI-171 code does 
not.

I am not in any position to sign code off for inclusion in guile proper, but if 
the define-public thing is fixed it very much has my blessing.

Best regards
