Subject: ‘match’ and ‘!’ features
Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:02:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ftym4ns7.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)

Hello,

I am getting interested in using Kawa lately.  I am happy to discover
that it implements pattern matching using the ‘match’ and ‘!’ macros.
However I am a bit puzzled by the fact those features are added in the
main module while the documentation on patterns [1] describe those
features as work in progress.

In order to lower the retro-compatibility expectations for those
experimentations, What do you think of moving the ‘match’ and ‘!’
definitions in a dedicated library for example (kawa match) ?
