I'd still argue that we should require that the procedures listed in
my previous email return newly-allocated bytevectors in all cases.
An analogous case appears in R7RS with bytevector-append, which must
return a fresh bytevector.  I suggest we follow this example.
Mutation is the soul of bytevector programming, and I'd rather not
introduce nasty surprises in the name of optimizing trivial cases.

Otherwise, I think SRFI 207 looks great.
