Action: Controls whether or not a bulletin board is closed off immediately when the call is made to the close_bulletin_board function.

Name String: bb_immediate_close

Scheme: boolean #f, #t #f

Test Harness: integer 0, 1 0

C++: logical FALSE, TRUE FALSE

Description: Controls whether bulletin boards are closed in close_bulletin_board or in open_bulletin_board. Historically it has been done in the open, so that is the default. Switching the option on could result in finding errors related to missing API_BEGIN/API_ENDs a bit quicker, because this causes the bulletin board to be closed immediately in the outermost API_END instead of waiting for the next API_BEGIN.

Example: ; bb_immediate_close

; Close bulletin boards immediately

(option:set "bb_immediate_close" #t)

;; #f
