I would avoid using special characters like * in library names.
The usual mapping to a path breaks in filesystems which
don't support this character, and is inconvenient in other
systems. Typical workarounds like the percent escaping used
in R6RS systems for their ":" numeric prefix are extremely
ugly and hard to work with.

Initially, I chose this character to signify that the library (srfi 206 *) is a special library, which is not backed by a file and does not have a well-defined finite list of exports, so is special in that it cannot be imported with a bare (import (srfi 206 *)).

I am open to better suggestions. (srfi 206 auto) is one choice, but this does not signify that it is not a library like every other.
