Re: [Scheme-reports] valid implementation of call-with-input-file? Andy Wingo 20 Aug 2012 10:33 UTC

Hi,

Briefly, as I'd like to be to-the-point regarding WG1's work:
call-with-input-file is not a good abstraction, because it can easily
leaks FDs on exceptional exit, and is prevented from doing something
more sensible.

I want them both, but given a choice I would rather have a useful
call-with-input-file (etc) than raise-continuable, in the small r7rs.

Andy
