3.5 Common Scheme Functions

This section describes a number of general purpose functions that make the kind of string processing that AutoGen does a little easier. Unlike the AutoGen specific functions (see section 3.4 AutoGen Scheme Functions), these functions are available for direct use during definition load time.
