Re: [Scheme-reports] Call for vote: SRFI 111, Boxes

[Daniel Villeneuve <dvilleneuve@x>]

I vote "yes" because I think it's useful to standardize on the interface 
for boxes.

However, I'd favor box-ref/box-set! for the names of the getter/setter, 
for similarity with vectors and strings.

Even though it's possible for individual programmers to rename library 
identifiers, I think that reading others' code is likely to be improved 
if standard names are chosen so that they would be used in their 
original form as much as possible.
