Hello,

[ Follow-up on texmacs-dev@, as this more a developer issue. ]

Reading such sentences is pretty horrifying to me! TeXmacs should never
crash due to an error in a Scheme script. It should give an meaningful
error message.

Programmers *do* make errors.

I can understand that this might not be so easy to do because of the
tight integration of Guile with texmacs C++ primitives, but a protection
layer should be added to them.

Best wishes,
d.
