It looks like it's not tuples itself that's in the wrong, but its use of the contracts egg is causing the trouble. When I compile the test suite of contracts with {{{-specialize}}} I also see a few warnings. In the end I was able to reduce it to this program that fails: {{{ (use contracts) (define-with-contract (single xpr) (range (even? result)) (lambda (sel) (print xpr))) }}} This is the warning I see: {{{ $ csc -specialize contracts-test.scm Warning: at toplevel: (contracts-test.scm:4) in procedure call to `g108109', expected 1 argument, but was given 0 arguments }}} When running with {{{-debug 2}}}, I see that single is a procedure which receives one ""{{{proc}}}"" argument, but it is called with zero arguments. Oddly enough, the code doesn't fail immediately. I really don't understand where it's going wrong, but the macros that apply here are quite complex! They're probably generating some dead code that is wrong even though it never gets called, and that's why the compiler still flags it.",defect,closed,minor,,extensions,4.7.x,worksforme,,,
