[r6rs-discuss] Question re trace

[Dave Penton]

I don't know if this list is an appropriate spot to ask a beginner's question. If not, send me to the right place please. I don't see a search function on the list archives, so I'll just ask:

What is the status of "trace" in R6RS?

I am using the Dybvig book on Scheme to learn, having started last year with Common Lisp. I need to know Scheme for some work pertaining to current topics in my grad program.

The Dybvig book refers to the trace function without further explanation. Is this part of the language? I don't see any mention of it in docs on the R6RS website.

I can use trace in Chez Scheme, but not for example in Racket (with language set to R6RS). I don't know how to find out why this might be so, what the status of trace is in the language, etc.

Best,
