All of the heavy parsing is shared, but the interface leaves room for differences, and this is unavoidable. In order for read to use string->number, it must have separate code for delimiting the string, whereas in order for string->number to use read (which Chibi does), it needs separate code paths for non-decimal base arguments. -- Alex _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list Scheme-reports@x http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
