[r6rs-discuss] [Formal] Identifiers beginning with "->" considered useless

[John Cowan]

William D Clinger scripsit:

> For backward compatibility, however, #\newline should
> be added as a synonym for #\linefeed.  Unlike ->X,
> which has not been legal in past reports, #\newline has
> been part of Scheme for a long time, and its removal
> creates gratuitous problems for those who convert to
> R6RS.
