For a while now, I haven't been able to come up with a good place to
put "small libraries" such as when/unless. Presently, there's a
"Miscellaneous libraries" chapter, with no clear rationale as to
what's in there and what's not. I don't want to give when/unless its
own chapter. (Maybe that's irrational. Somebody want to argue I
should consider it?)
My current best approach is to do the same as the checkout counter at
the supermarket: less than 10 items, you go "miscellaneous", more than
10, you get your own chapter. This puts the following in the
"miscellaneous" category:
when/unless
case-lambda
promises
R5RS compat
command-line access
eval
It gives a separate chapters to:
bytes
hash tables
enums
unicode
I'd also give "mutable pairs" its own chapters so it's clearly
separated from the rest.
If you object, let me know soon.
