display procedure has been changed so that it is closer to what other Scheme systems do (i.e. lists and vectors are written with parentheses, spaces, etc).
Uggh. I've spent years writing code that used the old display semantics, which you've argued quite strenuously is the "right thing" (TM) to do. Are you arguing that this version of display is now the "right thing"?
Maybe it's better if you think of it as "the portable thing". I've spent years working around this feature of Gambit...
Yes, after I sent my email I figured out that you have the right attitude. I have < 50,000 lines of scheme code I need to audit (which isn't really that much, just looking for display), and the non- standard display was keeping people from Gambit. So it's a net gain.
