system should be called Godot: "This is the one you've been waiting
for."
+=== Eventually:
+
* Deprecate `read-only-string?'.
After signal handling and threading have been fixed:
- remove the code corresponding to GUILE_OLD_ASYNC_CLICK and the corresponding
GUILE_OLD_ASYNC_CLICK macro.
-In release 1.5:
-- remove deprecated macros: SCM_INPORTP, SCM_OUTPORTP, SCM_CRDY, SCM_ICHRP,
- SCM_ICHR, SCM_MAKICHR, SCM_SETJMPBUF, SCM_NSTRINGP, SCM_NRWSTRINGP,
- SCM_NVECTORP
-- remove gc-thunk (It has been replaced by after-gc-hook.)
-- remove scm_sysmissing
-- remove gh_int2scmb (replaced by gh_bool2scm)
-- remove scm_fseek (replaced by scm_seek)
-- remove scm_tag
-- remove code related to the name property of hooks. Also, check init.c,
- since the dependency between hooks and objprop will then be eliminated.
-- remove deprecated function scm_list_star/list* (use SRFI-1 compliant
- scm_cons_star/cons* instead.)
-- remove scm_tc16_flo, scm_tc_flo (guile always uses doubles to represent
- inexact real numbers)
-- remove scm_tc_dblr (replaced by scm_tc16_real)
-- remove scm_tc_dblc (replaced by scm_tc16_complex)
-- remove deprecated types, functions and macros from numbers.h: scm_dblproc,
- SCM_UNEGFIXABLE, SCM_FLOBUFLEN, SCM_INEXP, SCM_CPLXP, SCM_REAL, SCM_IMAG,
- SCM_REALPART, scm_makdbl, SCM_SINGP, SCM_NUM2DBL, SCM_NO_BIGDIG

+- consider removing the automatic loading of (ice-9 rdelim) when guile
+ starts up. This would be a brave move, since a lot of code will
+ assume that read-line is available by default. However it would make
+ it easier to use alternative implementations of this module, e.g., a
+ strictly scsh-compatible version which uses multiple values. For
+ interactive use it would be easy to load the module in ~/.guile.
