Hi,
Programming successfully is a task involving keeping track of
a myriad of minutia and fitting all the little pieces together.
Anything that reduces the amount of information that one needs
to track is a good thing. The Guile library supports POSIX
calls with POSIX-ly named functions. Excellent. I only need
to learn one set of names and figure out some mostly obvious
permutations to use the Guile function for the POSIX call.
So, despite the fact that "delete-file" is far more obvious
than "unlink", the rename increases the complexity of my
programming life. I had to find "delete-file" by grepping
the source for "unlink *\(". Ick. Please consider adding
"unlink" and any other POSIX calls that got renamed.
Thanks.
