What I want in R^5RS
> Should DELETE-FILE return an indication of success or failure?
I don't care. Perhaps more important is the question of whether or
not `an error is signalled' if the specified file does not exist. I
would not be offended by:
(DELETE-FILE <name> . <bool>)
where the optional boolean argument indicates whether or not one wants
an error signalled if the specified file does not exist. I.e.
(delete-file "random" #t) would complain if "random" did not
exist, but (delete-file "random") and (delete-file "random" #f) would
not.
Other suggestions?
