Re: SRFI-143 Fixnums (was Generalized-Arrays egg v1.0.1)

Huh, looking through the log I guess I implemented the variadic operators, but
I don't remember why?

I grepped through all the .egg files in eggs-5-latest and it seems only
SRFI-217 and integer-map depend on SRFI-143; they do not appear to make use of
the variadic operators. This is confirmed by passing tests even when building
these eggs with a patched SRFI-143.

Thanks. I have applied your patch, tagged the commit, and pushed it.

I haven't actually been using sourcehut for that long relatively, so I'm not
sure what's required to give you access to the repo. At a glance it seems easy
to add other users by account name, but if there's another way I could look
into it (or if we'd simply want to move the egg somewhere else, fine by me).

I'll try to be at least a little more active on email (IRC, if I ever get
around to setting it up again) going forward to keep track of this and my other
eggs, should they come up.
