I'm nearly finished implementing srfi-11 using define-macro, and while
let*-values was fairly easy to implement elegantly, let-values is
somewhat uglier, and I need to create safe temporary values in the
expansion. Is that possible with gensym or gentmp?
The documentation for gentemp seems off, indicating it takes 2
optional args, when in fact it takes only one. Also, if you specify a
prefix to gensym, it starts generating very simple symbols. These are
guaranteed not to conflict with the existing bindings, right?
Thanks
