Subject: case-lambda should accept zero clauses
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 12:15:40 +0200

Hello guilers,

the case-lambda form is specified in r6rs-lib as accepting any number of
clauses, including zero. So this should not give an error:

scheme@(guile-user)> (case-lambda)
While compiling expression:
ERROR: Syntax error:
standard input:1:0: case-lambda: bad case-lambda in form (case-lambda)

Instead it should return a procedure that never gets the right number of
arguments.

Regards,
