[r6rs-discuss] [Formal] Simplifying conditions

[John Cowan]

Michael Sperber scripsit:

> The condition system distinguishes between simple conditions and
> compound conditions.  A compound condition consists of an ordered set
> of simple conditions.  Thus, every condition can be viewed as an
> ordered set of simple component conditions: If it is simple, the set
> consists of the condition itself; if it is compound, it consists of
> the simple conditions that compose it.

This is certainly better than the draft, but I would still prefer
a multiple-inheritance style, whereby a compound condition is the
merger of the fields of the simple conditions which make it up.
