Re: SRFI-13
I checked in the srfi-13 reference implementation.
And then I checked in a few Kawa-specific type
specifiers and optimizations. But a lot more work
is need to make the implementation reasonably efficient.
Most critical is the argument handling - these should
be changed to use #!optional. Using multiple values
is also rather expensive. Indexes should be int. etc etc.
Another complication is that SRFI-13 depends on SRFI-14
(character sets), which is difficult to implement efficiently
for Unicode. I have the start of an implementation, if
someone is interested in a volunteer project.
