<davexunit>could someone please explain the `pk` procedure?
<davexunit>,describe pk simply returns #f
<nalaginrut>morning guilers~
<nalaginrut>sneek: later tell davexunit pk is the alias of peek, and if you have nala-repl, you may use ,src to checkout its code, it's very easy
<sneek>Got it.
<nalaginrut>sneek: later tell Chaos`Eternal https://github.com/NalaGinrut/guile-persist a rough version, works, but poor at present

<sneek>davexunit, dsmith says: For pk, look at the source in modules/ice-9/boot-9.scm There is a comment that describes useage
<davexunit>but what does peek actually do? It seems to just output a commented sexp
<taylanub>davexunit: It's for debugging.
<taylanub>Just wrap an expression in (pk <expr>) and you'll have its value printed out during your test-run.
<davexunit>thanks.
<taylanub>It also returns <expr> itself so doesn't change the code's semantic.s
<taylanub>cs.*
<davexunit>thanks for the explanation taylanub
