+ Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
+
+ * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't

+ unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
+ (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
+
+ Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:

+ 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
+
+ * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
+ and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
+ collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
+ an alist.
+
+ 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
+
+ * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
+ (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
+ the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
+ disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
+ from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
+ (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
+ flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
+ automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
+ is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
+ (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
+ flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
+
+ 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
+
+ * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
+ peeked from the stream.
+ (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
+ (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
+ to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.

+
+ * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following

+ (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
+ a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
+ list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
+ error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
+ clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
+ (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
+ modern CL behavior.
+ (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
+ '() when the condition is false.

+ (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
+ deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
+
+ This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
+ load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
+ actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
+ has been added to the load path).
+
+ Use try-load-module.

+
+ * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to

+
+1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
+
+ Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
+ specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
+ by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
+ recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
+ stack frame encountered.
+
+ This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
+ `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
+ any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
+ on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
+ list).]
+
+ Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
+ that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
+ spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
+ system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
+ please tell me!]
+
+ System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
+ define-module switches:
+
+ (define-module (foo)
+ :no-backtrace)
+
+ Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
+ modules.
+
+ A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
+ associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
+ from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
+ module it is a system frame.
+
+ Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
+ away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
+ stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
+ user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
+ encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
+
+ In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
+ frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
+ following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
+ over application frames where the operator is marked by the
+ `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
+ generic function dispatch code in the object system.)

+ * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
+ status of a module.;

+
+ * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
