Indeed.  Thanks for the answer, Ian.

In the new email-happy bug system, to close a bug you edit the Cc: list
to add -done after the bug number, as I have done here.  Feel free to do
this for any bug that you feel is done; if we make a mistake, we can
simply re-open it.

I'm sure we could do better accounting as to the kind of resolution and
such, but I'm most concern with simply marking bugs as being resolved.

Regards, and happy hacking to you both :-)

Hi,

I'm running the latest git version (2.0.3.244-04ec29).
Declaring a R6RS style library doesn't work:

(library (foo))

=>
ice-9/psyntax.scm:1422:30: In procedure expand-macro:
ice-9/psyntax.scm:1422:30: Syntax error:
source expression failed to match any pattern in form (library (foo))


while this does:

(define-module (foo))
