   Wait a minute, you can close a port ?

You can try; whether or not (and how) Guile obliges your request
is always a separate matter.

   Thank you for the hint ! :)

   Ashamedly yours,

No worries.  I see your shame and raise it: my own for having so much
Guile hacking on my plate for so long (announced, scheduled, but not yet
manifested).  Helping you is my way of procrastinating / repenting.

Actually, to be honest, i see no shame in missing things.  All those
neutrinos don't seem to mind, despite their direction and energy...

It's easier to watch them than to read the book ;-)

Multi-channel is better for learning.  Reading the book is nice for
the symbolic brain, watching the video is better for the neural
network.
