Please forgive me for my words not matching my intent. Your reading of my
words, as near as I can tell, is what I had written. However, it was not
my intent.
First, I did not intend to make you the fixer of all patches related to
scheme integration, and I apologize to you for having implied that. I did
not mean to do so.
Also, I did not intend to imply that your marvelous work to allow the use
of lilypond syntax in scheme should be ripped out of lilypond. I can see
that my words did say that, and I retract them.
I also was not sensitive to the use of invective regarding your code. I
should have been. As far as I can see, all of the changes you have made
have been clear improvements. Please accept my apology for my
insensitivity.
As far as I can see, your answer about the parser output has resolved
things -- the parser is working perfectly, so the module solution isn't
yet right.
And if we can't figure out a way to make it work with Guile 2.0, I'd be in
favor of staying with 1.8 instead of ripping out these improvements.
What I meant to say was that I thought you would have some insight, and be
able to identify whether there were any issues with the #{ #} syntax. The
parser output shows that there are no issues with that syntax, so we need
to find a better way to handle this shift in preparation for Guile 2.0.
Again, please forgive my insensitivity. And thank you for your very
significant contributions to LilyPond.
Carl
