Re: bug: min on strings

Well, perhaps it's a misinterpretation on your part caused by an
ambiguity in the documentation: The arguments have to be all numbers or
all strings. i.e., min can compare numbers to numbers and strings to
strings, but not numbers to strings, hence:

? (min "asd" "qwe")
= "asd"
