Scheme Request for Implementation 225,
"Dictionaries,"
by John Cowan (spec) and Arvydas Silanskas (implementation),
has gone into final status.

The document and an archive of the discussion are available at
<https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-225/>.

Here's the abstract:

The procedures of this SRFI allow callers to manipulate an object that
maps keys to values without the caller needing to know exactly what
the type of the object is. Such an object is called a dictionary or
dict in this SRFI.

Here is the commit summary since the most recent draft:

- remove dto macro
- editorial
- Fix typo.
- copy edits
- Link to official Github repo.
- Fix two examples.
- wip
- update implementation
- editorial
- return of alists
- return alists; refactor structure
- editorial
- fix example bugs
- fixed all SRFI examples
- Fix errors reported by W3C HTML Validator.
- Use HTML entity ⇒ for double right arrow.
- Add example.
- copy edits
- editorial
- Drop trailing whitespace.
- Link to landing pages of other SRFIs.
- Finalize.

Here are the diffs since the most recent draft:

Many thanks to John and to everyone who contributed to the discussion of
this SRFI.

Regards,
