Oh, by the way: the Lisp predicate listp (at least Elisp) is listp is a built-in function in `C source code'. (listp OBJECT) Return t if OBJECT is a list, that is, a cons cell or nil. Otherwise, return nil. [back] That is a computationally cheap predicate. I don't see an equivalent in Guile: list? checks a narrower condition, and it is O(n) instead of O(1). Quite often the circularity check is not actually wanted. Is there any recommended way to do the equivalent of (or (pair? x) (null? x))? -- David Kastrup
