Abstract

This SRFI describes a set of operations on SRFI 4 homogeneous vector types (plus a few additional types) that are closely analogous to the vector operations library, SRFI 133. An external representation is specified which may be supported by the read and write procedures and by the program parser so that programs can contain references to literal homogeneous vectors.
