The problem is that Haskell is one interpreter with strict error messages.
With Scheme you a lot of different interpreters and each one give different
error messages. R7RS say nothing about error messages.

Maybe it will be good idea to create SRFI with common error messages for
every error, or most common errors. So it will be feasible to create such
page.
