SRFI 166 is impressive work! Could the underscore syntax proposed in
this 169 be printed by using comma-sep from 166? What's the equivalent
thing in 159?

Yes. The `numeric` formatter in 159 and 166 is exactly the same, except

that 166 supports insertion after a variable number of digits and 159

doesn't.

Is 166 going to be tied into the R7RS-large printer if it passes the
vote? Is 159 currently tied to it?

No, it is quite independent of the R7RS-large printer.

In light of 159 and 166 existing, would you recommend specifying
anything at all about printing in this new 169?

I would recommend pointing out that SRFI 166 can insert the

underscores and leave it at that.

Is a chair finely made tragic or comic? Is the portrait of Mona Lisa

good if I desire to see it? Is the bust of Sir Philip Crampton lyrical,

epical or dramatic? If a man hacking in fury at a block of wood make

there an image of a cow, is that image a work of art? If not, why not?
