This name is not going to make much sense when and if 170 is incorporated into R7RS-large, in which case it will probably be called (scheme posix) or (scheme posix core) or something of the sort. Perhaps this facility should be migrated to SRFI 198 as well and called simply "posix-error". That way any Posix-related SRFI can raise it and any of their callers can check for it.

Last year Lassie and I were thinking we should create a Grand Unified Scheme Error System, inspired in part by the neat system of coding Oracle uses in its error reporting. This anticipated transition suggests we should work on it ASAP.
