Re: Regularization of Procedures in Scheme (pair setters)

[Pavel.pa@Xerox.COM]

    If you set a vector with VECTOR-SET! and a string with STRING-SET!,
    why do you set a pair with SET-CAR! and SET-CDR! instead of CAR-SET!
    and CDR-SET!?
   
Because CAR is not the name of a type.  The correct name would be PAIR-SET!
and for consistency, it must take three arguments: a pair, a field
designator (in this case, perhaps one of the symbols CAR or CDR), and a new
value.  Ecch.
