It doesn't support continuations, TCO, and libraries, but it support
everything else from R5RS and a lot of R7RS (some functions need upgrade
to include multiple arguments that were not in R5RS). It should at least be
marked as "partial support". I know that TCO is fundamental for Scheme, but
the same is syntax-rules that not all implementation have.
But if you decide that it should be marked as "not supported" or something
similar, I think it would be better than not being included.
