It would be nice to know which Schemes can trivially support particular SRFIs just by loading their sample implementation.

If that's the case, those SRFIs should be added to some repository
like Snow. We know if it's portable by looking at the repo, and the
user can also get it easily. We could reserve a namespace in snow for
srfi reference implementations.

I could start with some srfi that I know from experience is portable
enough. But I think we need to make sure srfi editors have the right
to update these packages if needed (haven't looked closely at snow
yet)
