Truly true! Please, people, keep the doc more or less up to date. This
is a real showstopper for new contributors to come (e.g. me ;-)) I've already
spend some time debugging a quite simple application because you don't
terminate a gh_list with SCM_EOL as said in the doc, but with
SCM_UNDEFINED. Things like that are really boring :-(
BTW, the function gh_eval_file_with_catch currently (1.2) uses only
the standard handler, regardless of the handler you provide. Since I'm
curious, I patched it to use my handler, and it seems to work. So I'm
wondering if it's a bug, or if there's really something unimplemented behind,
as suggested the comment ("Fixme: not there yet.").
Thanks.
