As I discussed with John in another thread on this mailing list, the
procedure and macro names of this SRFIs are going to be prefixed in
the next draft. Initially, I thought "env-" would be a good prefix.

After having thought about it, I came to the conclusion that that
prefix is a bit inexpressive, so I propose "computation-" instead. For
example, "bind" would become "computation-bind" and "make-environment"
would become "make-computation-environment". I think that will solve
the problem you have raised, won't it?

Likewise, the "fn" macro would become "computation-fn". SRFI 166 can
then re-export it with the short name "fn" so that it remains
compatible with SRFI 159.
