10.3.1 linear recursion and iteration

[nelmil]

Towards the end there is a sentence about Scheme and Chapter 5.

"The implementation of Scheme we shall consider in chapter 5 does not share this defect. It will execute an iterative process in constant space, even if the iterative process is described by a recursive function."

If you stick with the current chapter numbering then I believe the chapter would be 15. The part about implementation of scheme will have to be looked at again after the completion of the book since it is unknown whether there will be an implementation of scheme.

Nice catch -- thanks!

Ah, yes -- this is something I want to leave for now, 'cause I'm not sure what we're going to do when we implement a compiler -- we may in fact implement a tiny Scheme in LFE! (I have to say, this possibility is tantalizing ... ).

This does need an editor's note, however, otherwise it will get forgotten ...
