56 /* {Run-time options}
57 *
58 * This is the basic interface for low-level configuration of the
59 * Guile library. It is used for configuring the reader, evaluator,
60 * printer and debugger.
61 *
62 * Motivation:
63 *
64 * 1. Altering option settings can have side effects.
65 * 2. Option values can be stored in native format.
66 * (Important for efficiency in, e. g., the evaluator.)
67 * 3. Doesn't use up name space.
68 * 4. Options can be naturally grouped => ease of use.

71 /* scm_options is the core of all options interface procedures.
72 *
73 * Some definitions:
74 *
75 * Run time options in Guile are arranged in groups. Each group
76 * affects a certain aspect of the behaviour of the library.
77 *
78 * An "options interface procedure" manages one group of options. It
79 * can be used to check or set options, or to get documentation for
80 * all options of a group. The options interface procedure is not
81 * intended to be called directly by the user. The user should
82 * instead call
83 *
84 * (<group>-options)
85 * (<group>-options 'help)
86 * (<group>-options 'full)
87 *
88 * to display current option settings (The second version also
89 * displays documentation. The third version also displays
90 * information about programmer's options.), and
91 *
92 * (<group>-enable '<option-symbol>)
93 * (<group>-disable '<option-symbol>)
94 * (<group>-set! <option-symbol> <value>)
95 * (<group>-options <option setting>)
96 *
97 * to alter the state of an option (The last version sets all
98 * options according to <option setting>.) where <group> is the name
99 * of the option group.
100 *
101 * An "option setting" represents the state of all low-level options
102 * managed by one options interface procedure. It is a list of
103 * single symbols and symbols followed by a value.
104 *
105 * For boolean options, the presence of the symbol of that option in
106 * the option setting indicates a true value. If the symbol isn't a
107 * member of the option setting this represents a false value.
108 *
109 * Other options are represented by a symbol followed by the value.
110 *
111 * If scm_options is called without arguments, the current option
112 * setting is returned. If the argument is an option setting, options
113 * are altered and the old setting is returned. If the argument isn't
114 * a list, a list of sublists is returned, where each sublist contains
115 * option name, value and documentation string.
