Just in case others are wondering, I am answering in public.

BY ALL MEANS, respond! Quick responses to questions are the whole  
point of a mailing list. Even a partially correct answer is useful to  
the questioner AND the core team. We can tell from such partial  
answers where we need to improve docs, the language, the environment,  
the tools, etc.

Thanks to everyone who answers questions on plt-scheme. If I had  
rewards, I'd assign reward points, just like airlines. (Of course  
those are useless too these days.) Since I don't, a heartfelt 'thank  
you' to everyone.
