Re: [Scheme-reports] Comments on draft 7

[Alan Watson <alan@x>]

It's difficult to understand this prohibition. C strings containing non-terminal NUL characters are not prohibited:

  char s[] = "abc\0efg";

Sure, most C library functions will interpret this string as equivalent to the C string "abc" and most C-to-Scheme FFIs would convert this to the Scheme string "abc", but such ambiguities are not per se issues for Scheme code.

Regards,

Alan
