Under the "Cool Ideas" section of the Guile website, Emacs-like buffers are mentioned. I'm thinking this would be a really useful library, even independent of Guile. Once such a library is built, then extending it into guile shouldn't be too much extra effort.
Is anyone actively pursuing this? If so, I'd be interested in assisting. If not, then I plan to give a shot at this independently. :) As a start I see a need for: * In-memory string (including binary string?) buffers * buffer->string (and vice-versa) features (including splitting & tokenizing) * Point based search/replace/insert/delete/copy facilities * Full regular expression support (this touches upon another wish-list item) * File I/O encapsulation If anyone has any additional info on this topic, then I'd like to hear about it.
