How to get all bindings?

[bunder]

Is it possible to get list of all current bindings? I want something like this:

(define asdf 4)
(display (env:all-variables <something>))

And expect to see asdf there.

How about this:

cyclone> (define a 1)
ok
cyclone> (define b 2)
ok
cyclone> (define c 3)
ok
cyclone> (env:all-variables *global-environment*)
(c b a)

Thank you! Yes, I could always wrap defines and add all functions to a specific list, but this will not work for functions that are defined outside of my code using standard define. Anyway, despite this is non-standard to R7RS, my goal is to understand whether getting all symbols is possible in compiled programs in Cyclone?

Are you looking to get the symbols at compile time or runtime?

Poking around in the symbol namespace is generally not a sound way to solve problems in Lisp languages. Scheme doesn't have a clear idea of what "the namespace" is. For production code, the namespaces of interest are libraries, and things outside libraries (e.g. in the REPL environment) tend to be experimental stuff that production code should probably not touch unless told to do so.

I just experiment with Cyclone and looking for any possibility. As I understand, Scheme doesn't specify standard way to get all bindings, but implementations may provide it on they own (like (current-module) in Guile).

Generally you are right, but I just want to understand if this feature is supported in Cyclone.
