[r6rs-discuss] [Formal] file-opens should be a procedure

Component: Comments
Report version: 5.91
Summary: file-options should be a procedure, not syntax

Making file-options a procedure makes it possible to pass a
computed list of symbols.  Saving a '(...) wrapper is not
sufficient justification to expose the file-options constructor
only as syntax.

This affects 15.2.2 on p. 79.

It's like if you meet an really old, really rich guy covered in liver
spots and breathing with an oxygen tank, and you say, "I want to be
rich, too, so I'm going to start walking with a cane and I'm going to
act crotchety and I'm going to get liver disease. --Wil Shipley
