Re: Unknown feature name 'srfi-26'

Hello Charles:

Thank you very much for your reply.

In fact, this is the very first time I'm using SRFI-26 in Kawa (I'm porting some
Chicken code).

I've always been able to require some of the other Kawa implemented
SRFI's listed in: 

* http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Implemented-SRFIs.html 

with no warnings at all, so this message was a little bit strange to me
(v.gr. in Chicken when you require an already built-in SRFI there are no
warnings).

Maybe we would neeed a point in the Kawa documentation about the already
built-in SRFI's.

Thanks again for your hints.
Greetings.
