7.5.6 SRFI-6 - Basic String Ports

SRFI-6 defines the procedures open-input-string, open-output-string and get-output-string.

Note that although versions of these procedures are included in the Guile core, the core versions are not fully conformant with SRFI-6: attempts to read or write characters that are not supported by the current %default-port-encoding will fail.

We therefore recommend that you import this module, which supports all characters:
