SRFI 240: Reconciled Records

[Arthur A. Gleckler]

Scheme Request for Implementation 240,
"Reconciled Records,"
by Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen,
is now available for discussion.

This SRFI was split off from SRFI 237, which was formerly known as
Reconciled Records

Here are Marc's comments on the draft:

SRFI 237 started as a proposal to unify the R6RS and the R7RS
define-record-type syntax into one form.

Now, after three drafts, the scope of SRFI 237 has been extended quite
a bit. Now, it is not only about unifying the syntaxes but also about
refining the R6RS record-type facility.

To structure things, I would therefore like to [split] SRFI 237 into
SRFI 237 + SRFI [240], where SRFI 237 is only concerned with the
refinement of the R6RS record-type facility and SRFI [240] is about
the unification of the define-record-type syntaxes.

Its draft and an archive of the ongoing discussion are available at
<https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-240/>.

Here's the abstract:

This SRFI defines a version of the define-record-type definition of
R6RS and SRFI 237 that extends the define-record-type syntax of R7RS,
reconciling both systems.

This SRFI is meant to be adopted by R7RS-large to integrate
essentially the R6RS record system compatibly with the existing
R7RS-small record system.
