I like the suggestion on mutable strings, which reads:

Consequently, this SRFI suggests that Scheme's mutable strings be used only for buffers and other relatively short sequences of characters, while using the immutable texts defined by SRFI 135 for long sequences of characters.

But I'd like it to omit mentioning buffers.

That text came from SRFI 135, I think, but I agree that mentioning buffers is a bad idea. I have a pre-SRFI for circular buffers loosely based on the Elisp API, but have never brought it forward: it's at <http://trac.sacrideo.us/wg/wiki/BuffersCowan>.

It's like if you meet an really old, really rich guy covered in liver

spots and breathing with an oxygen tank, and you say, "I want to be

rich, too, so I'm going to start walking with a cane and I'm going to

act crotchety and I'm going to get liver disease. --Wil Shipley
