We should clear up the copyright status of the implementations in the repo.

The main file is: https://github.com/udem-dlteam/libs/blob/master/srfi/1/1.scm

It is based on Olin's code from the sample implementation of the SRFI.

@alvatar Can you check whether there is some of your code in the implementation? If so, let's add a copyright line for you to the source file.

@feeley Can you do a quick review of 1.scm for coding style? It's clean and straightforward code but there may be some easy opportunities Gambit-specific optimizations or to make error checking more idiomatic.

[lassik]

A lot of code is commented out in that file. We should probably remove it once we have understood what it did. All tests pass without the commented-out code.

OK, so now we have the start of the gambit/list module which aims to be a superset of SRFI 1. So we should work mostly in gambit/list and later implement SRFI 1 trivially as a library that reexports a subset of the gambit/list exports. The same for gambit/string and SRFI 13/152.

Perfect! I'm just compiling master.

Are there particular SRFIs you plan to have fully implemented for Gambit's upcoming release?

[lassik]

In my experience 1 (list), 13 (string), 132 (sort), 151 (bitwise) are constantly needed. These should be pretty easy to fully implement now that the groundwork is laid.

[feeley]

Yes that would be a good start. The release is still a few weeks in the future.
