Re: Mailing List... where are you?

Without wanting to re-start the flood either, I will just emphasize:

(1)  We're talking about a *compatible* and logical extension to RnRS,
and I believe SET! is the right name.  This especially makes sense if
you want to provide a different infix "surface syntax", where A := B
is syntactic sugar for (set! A B).

(2) Kawa uses SET!, and that's not going to change.  (Kawa is not a
totally random other Scheme implementation:  The plan is for the
Kawa homepage to move to www.gnu.org, at Stallman's request.)
