I've requested finalization, but the editors have not yet granted it,
so I'm sending them a new draft meeting your points.

I've changed this to machine-name.  I didn't do sufficient analysis
of the Common Lisp names before proposing the SRFI.

+1.  Changed.

> What's the intended use of c-memory-model?

Most of your specific arguments are irrelevant, because this is a logging
API, not a discrimination API.  But they convince me that there should
be a separate run-time API that lets you discover the memory model
for discrimination.  We have already had complaints about the memory
model cond-expand features, because compilers that output C typically
don't know the memory model at compile time.  So I've removed
c-memory-model from the SRFI.

> Other environment inquiries that might be worth including:

These are for discrimination or computation rather than logging,
and so don't fit into this SRFI, but should find a place in other
SRFIs.  I've copied them to the wiki as MiscEnvironmentSchudy.

The new version is temporarily at <http://ccil.org/~cowan/temp/srfi-112.html>.
I've fixed a bunch of embarrassing typos, too.
