I agree. Does this have any precedent in existing implementations?

- A mutable #&datum is an anonymous initialized assignable global
static.

All literals are immutable - changing this breaks important

safety assumptions as well as optimization possibilities.

Apart from that the SRFI looks good, and the R7RS portable

definition (portable only in the absence of lexical syntax) is

trivial.
