<wingo>rlb: didn't see that, i should take a look

<wingo>ah you are on it :) great

<wingo>when i added lto, i think thin objects were the state of the art

<rlb>wingo: ahh, ok. And I *was* on it, but wandered off -- glad you reminded me :)

<lechner>Hi, is there a way to "display" '(values 1 2)'?

<lechner>or otherwise serialize it?

<rlb>I suppose it depends on what you need -- i.e. (values 1 2) is a representation suitable for some purposes.

<sudden>lechner: (display (call-with-values (lambda () (values 1 2)) (lambda a a)))

<daviid>lechner: (receive (. args) (values 1 2 3) args)

<lechner>i would like to serialize a procedure's return value, generally

<dthompson>call-with-values is what you want, then

<dthompson>since procedures are not guaranteed to return a single value in the general case. they can return 0 or more.

<daviid>(receive (. args) (values) args) => ()

<lloda>a lot of data types in Guile don't have literal syntax. You have to write your own reader

<lechner>sudden / rlb / daviid / dthompson / thanks!
