Type of issue: Simplification
Priority: Minor
R6RS component: (r6rs when-unless)
Version of the report: 5.92
Summary: (r6rs when-unless) should be removed
This is mainly an attempt to stimulate discussion: Given that `when'
and `unless' offer little advantage over just using `if', and given
that their definitions are so trivial, it's unclear whether the
benefit of having a separate library with these in the standard is
worth the cost. As I don't use `when' and `unless', it's clear that
they're not worth the cost to me. I wonder what others think.
