Subject: Re: proposed changes to handling of false and end-of-list
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2015 04:04:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54E803D4.3020403@bothner.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <51CE82FC.9090209@bothner.com>

I checked in the following change (proposed and discussed June-July 2013):

* Java null (#!null in Scheme syntax) would be considered false
(rather than true).  I.e. in an expression (if c e1 e2) if c
evaluates to Java null *or* a java.lang.Boolean such that
c.booleanValue()==false, then e2 is evaluated; otherwise e1 is evaluated.

Let now know if you run into problems or anomalies.
