Re: Prior art: SRFI 97 Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen 31 Jul 2020 09:20 UTC

PS SRFI 97 is obsolete anyway when it comes to R7RS systems. The new
naming scheme does not include, for example, a plural "s" in the
second part of the library name. This, actually, is an argument in
favor of the SRFI process I have proposed because a new SRFI can
easily overwrite and change these fundamental things, which a simple
database cannot.
