Re: [Chicken-hackers] substring function and bounds checks

If that's all you really wanted, the slice egg (to which you have already
been referred; docs at <http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/slice>) does
everything you are asking for, negative and past-the-end indices and all.
It even slices lists and vectors as a bonus.  But no, what you are
showing you actually want is to complain about the meaning of the name
"substring".  That's not a discussion anyone else thinks is worth having.
