Kei, I appreciate that you took this opportunity to switch from 'system*' to 'invoke' here while doing this update. I think it makes sense to do this whenever we update a package. However, it's worth noting that you missed an important further simplification that the switch to 'invoke' enables. Since 'invoke' never returns #false, the surrounding code that arranges for plumbing of its result code can be removed entirely. Step by step: * Since 'invoke' never returns #false, it can be moved above the 'and'. * This leaves the 'and' with only one remaining argument. An 'and' with only one argument is equivalent to that argument, so the 'and' can be removed, replaced by its argument. * Since the 'begin' is now within a body (whereas previously it was an operand), the 'begin' can now be removed, replaced by its contents. This is what I did in commit 76c7fc436a151236f5e1ff966fd99172d85ee422 on master, which I've attached below.
