Scheme offers an astoundingly simple display function. It takes a single argument and simply prints out whatever is given. This sounds great in theory, but debugging statements, markers and complex screen printing is tiresome with such a limited function.
Someone clever thought up an enhanced version of display. And after looking at it, you’ll wonder why you hadn’t thought of it and why it is not natively built in.
;; display+ displays all of the values with a newline at the end.
(define (display+ . args)
(for-each
(lambda (item) (display item))
args)
(newline))
So, instead of writing something like (display "hello ") (display name) (newline), you could just as easily do a more conventional, (display "hello " name). This is more akin to the usual type of concatenating that is seen in other languages.
