I quickly generated a preliminary table to get a feel of how it would
be like.

Yeah, I only opted to include SRFIs that are built into the stdlib of
each implementation. I think we could mark third-party SRFI support with
the colour yellow on the table.

Either way, there needs to be more work put into it. I'll go through
all these sources once I can and update the data we have thus far.
