_srfi-alias_: getting SRFIs by name
---------------------------------

Index terms: _srfi-alias.plt_ _srfi-alias_ _srfi-alias.ss_

This is a slightly silly package for getting at the SRFI's without
remembering their numbers.  The complete set of SRFI's supported by
this package are:

   1:  list.ss
   2:  and-let.ss
   5:  let.ss
   7:  program.ss
   8:  receive.ss
   9:  record.ss
   13: string.ss
   14: char-set.ss
   17: set.ss
   19: time.ss
   25: array.ss
   26: cut.ss
   27: random-bits.ss
   29: localization.ss
   31: rec.ss
   32: sort.ss
   34: exception.ss
   40: stream.ss
   42: comprehensions.ss
   43: vector-lib.ss
   45: lazy.ss
   48: format.ss
   54: cat.ss
   57: records.ss
   59: vicinity.ss
   67: compare.ss
   69: hash.ss
   71: letvalues.ss
   78: check.ss
   87: case.ss


This package does nothing else than reprovide these SRFIs under their
respective descriptive names.


For example, to get at SRFI-1, you can say:

    (require (planet "list.ss" ("dyoo" "srfi-alias.plt" 1)))
