I think some of these feature need more justification. Especially bags. Are they useful enough to put in the standard library? Obviously they're occasionally useful, but in those cases it's worth noting that a bag of T is just a minor optimization of a map (hash-table) from T to integers. I note that Java includes an extensible set of "collections classes" - but no Bag class that I can find. That suggests demand is pretty low. -- --Per Bothner per@x http://per.bothner.com/ _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list Scheme-reports@x http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
