Package: guile-1.8-doc-non-dfsg
Version: 1.8.7+1-1
Severity: minor
The string-join documentation in 'info guile-1.8' is as follows:
-- Scheme Procedure: string-join ls [delimiter [grammar]]
-- C Function: scm_string_join (ls, delimiter, grammar)
Append the string in the string list LS, using the string DELIM as
a delimiter between the elements of LS. GRAMMAR is a symbol which
specifies how the delimiter is placed between the strings, and
defaults to the symbol `infix'.
`infix'
Insert the separator between list elements. An empty string
will produce an empty list.
`string-infix'
Like `infix', but will raise an error if given the empty list.
`suffix'
Insert the separator after every list element.
`prefix'
Insert the separator before each list element.
This left me wondering what the default delimiter was; I could tell it
was a single space by experimentation but didn't know if this was
specified or merely happenstance. SRFI 13 explicitly says that it
defaults to a single space
(http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-13/srfi-13.html#List2String). I think it
would be helpful if the Guile documentation said so too.
Thanks,
