[plt-scheme] all-except in require
Hi Matthew, Robby,
Thanks for the early-morning help. This one is just a question, really:
In the (require ...) form, I can do an 'all-except'. No error is
generated when I 'except' a name that doesn't exist:
(module foo mzscheme
(provide (all-defined))
(define x 3)
(define y 5))
(module bar mzscheme
(require (all-except foo z))
(printf "Sum: ~a" (+ x y)))
Does it make sense to be able to "except" a name that isn't defined? It
doesn't seem to hurt anything to allow it, but I noted it, and thought
I'd ask.
While I'm at it, 'all-except' in the 'require' and 'all-from-except' in
the 'provide' are very close in name, and semantically the same. Was it
an intentional choice to name them differently, or just how things evolved?
Thanks again,
Matt
