Setting that variable doesn't do anything because the test suite strips
out all but a few "known good" variables.
So, maybe the Guile folks can give me some portability guidance. The
message Guile gives (when I set the above to "detailed") is this:
Guile used to use the wrong argument order for string-delete.
This call to string-filter had the arguments in the wrong order.
See SRFI-13 for more details. At some point we will remove this hack.
and it's because of this code in gmk-default.scm:
;; Printable string (no special characters)
((and (string? x)
(eq? (string-length (string-delete x char-set:printing)) 0))
x)
It's trying to determine if the string contains any non-printable chars.
How can I write this so it will work both with older Guile 1.8 and also
with newer Guile 2.0? Or, should I just forget about trying to work
with Guile <2.0? Most systems I have access to still have Guile 1.8
though.
