Note that the current draft SRFI allows this searching to stop as soon
as a match has been found.  Additional matches could theoretically exist
which would be found if the search continued after finding the first
match.  Implementations which want to do more sophisticated version
constraint handling can continue searching (because other versions might
be available) if the first match does not work-out (because of some
other version constraints).
