<cow_2001>could you rename s1 and s2 in string-suffix? and the like to something more meaningful or must it comply with the naming of srfi-13?
<lilyp>I mean, staying compatible with outside documentation is a goal to strive for, but I'd prefer "long" and "short" myself as well as "candidate" and "string", both of which would convey the meaning you're looking for
<janneke>rlb: yeah, creating a neat build system for your own project isn't all that hard and can seem super nice
