-------- ASAP but at least before 5/22 --------
1. Mike/All: Mike send updated condition-simplification proposal,
the rest of us look it over, then Mike put it into the report if no one
squawks.
2. Mike: Incoroprate today's decisions/comments into report draft:
- port positions can be arbitrary values ("magic cookies")
- combine get-string and get-string-n
- change library naming from (r6rs ---) to (rnrs --- 6)
- drop mention of eqv? behavior for transcoders
- fix description of eqv? behavior for records
- change in bitwise-bit-count specification for negative inputs
- reverse file-options defaults and change option names to
nocreate, nofail, and notruncate (or was it no-create, no-fail,
no-truncate?)
- make clear that introductory section of report is nonnormative.
3. Kent: Email Robby and Jacob sense of the committee on semantics.
