Apart from the outdated reference to gh_new_procedure, this is wrong.
boot-9.scm drops you into the guile-user module, while builtins are
in the guile module.
I suggest that this be documented more prominently, I spent more than
1.5 hours figuring oupt why the attached program didn't work. Also
note that the scheme code (in vain) tries to import the guile and
guile-user modules. Finally, I'd suggest that the chapter containing
the above doc snippet be linked from "Modules" section.
i'll see what i can do before 1.5.5 is released... i have in mind:
consolidation of "included modules" to the "III. Modules" section;
labelling current text as "guile-1.4 specific", adding guile-1.5+
specific info to scheme-modules.texi; pointing from the intro there.
One final nitpick: it would be nice to have docstrings for the
procedures in ice-9; specifically, all the glorious comments in
ice-9/boot-9.scm are not available from the internal help facilities.
Is there some kind of reason for that, or can I submit a patch?
patches are welcome!
