22.2.7 List Searching
---------------------
The following procedures search lists for particular elements. They use
different comparison predicates for comparing list elements with the
object to be searched. When they fail, they return `#f', otherwise
they return the sublist whose car is equal to the search object, where
equality depends on the equality predicate used.
-- Scheme Procedure: memq x lst
-- C Function: scm_memq (x, lst)
Return the first sublist of LST whose car is `eq?' to X where the
sublists of LST are the non-empty lists returned by `(list-tail
LST K)' for K less than the length of LST. If X does not occur in
LST, then `#f' (not the empty list) is returned.
-- Scheme Procedure: memv x lst
-- C Function: scm_memv (x, lst)
Return the first sublist of LST whose car is `eqv?' to X where the
sublists of LST are the non-empty lists returned by `(list-tail
LST K)' for K less than the length of LST. If X does not occur in
LST, then `#f' (not the empty list) is returned.
-- Scheme Procedure: member x lst
-- C Function: scm_member (x, lst)
Return the first sublist of LST whose car is `equal?' to X where
the sublists of LST are the non-empty lists returned by
`(list-tail LST K)' for K less than the length of LST. If X does
not occur in LST, then `#f' (not the empty list) is returned.
