Re: MySQL and guile

Ahhh :)

I figured it might be something like that.

I've been generally thrilled with guile so far.  My only complaint,
really, is the obvious one about the documentation.  Since I've only
been playing with the package for a few days, I don't feel qualified to
fully rewrite them, but would sending a list of the errors in the
documentation be helpful ?  I get the feeling that they are awaiting a
big overhaul, so I don't know if this would be helpful or just annoying.
