Re: How could this be implemented?

[Jon Wilson]

Hi Andy,
I (clearly) don't think it is silly, but I don't think that the guile 
developers should think it is silly either, as one of guile's original 
goals was to be able to emulate other languages.  Bash is a quite common 
and useful language, so why shouldn't we try to emulate it?  My idea 
would perhaps put us one step closer to being able to emulate a whole 
class of languages which have the capability of running executables like 
bash does (tcsh, bash, tcl ...).

Thanks for the pointer.  Do you know of any documentation on module 
binder procs?  I've looked in the manual and, (as usual) it doesn't 
really say much of anything about them.
Regards,
Jon
