Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):

Subject: (const x) is a thunk
Date: Sun, 17 May 2020 12:41:05 +0200

With guile-3.0.2:

scheme@(guile-user)> (thunk? (const 1))
$1 = #t

Since thunk is a procedure that does not accept arguments (section
6.9.7, documentation for 'thunk?'), the result of the above evaluation
should be #f.
