Re: Guile Hoot v0.2.0 released!

[Daniel Skinner]

Given some inexact that I would eventually want to truncate and use as the
index arg of vector-ref, do I have any options for this in this release of
hoot?

Notably I didn't see a definition for inexact->exact and I dont really know
my way around scheme too well to know how to address otherwise.
