In recent versions of TeXmacs, we directly pass the arguments as trees,
so you should convert them to strings using tree->string.
However, there is a bug with this, since the > in tree->string
is currently rewritten as <gtr>. I hope to take a look at this soon.
You may write a function (define (f t) (string-length (tree->string t)))
and use "f".
