I'd really like to standardize basic string processing with cursors,
since a large number of libraries depend on this, and using SRFI-13
imposes a performance penalty on many implementations.

Specifically, for Snow packages most things I publish depend
directly or indirectly on (chibi string), which cond-expands to use
cursors for chibi and indexes for everything else.  It would be
preferable to standardize a basic cursor-oriented library.
