Re: overloading an existing operator in Guile

[Damien Mattei]

solution:

scheme@(guile-user)> (define-method (+ (x <vector>) (y <vector>))
(vector-append x y))
;;; <stdin>:11:46: warning: possibly unbound variable `vector-append'
scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (srfi srfi-43))
scheme@(guile-user)> (+ 2 3)
$3 = 5
scheme@(guile-user)> (+ #(1 2 3) #(4 5))
$4 = #(1 2 3 4 5)

scheme@(guile-user)> {#(1 2 3) + #(4 5)}
$5 = #(1 2 3 4 5)
