I don't think that the text of SRFI 240 (which is to be finalized)
depends on any possible last-minute changes to SRFI 237.  SRFI 237
won't be changed in a way so that it becomes incompatible to SRFI 240
(that is, incompatible to R7RS records).

If my memory serves me right, these have all been addressed.

The only reason why I haven't asked for the finalization of SRFI 237
yet is that I would like to give the lexical syntax additions to SRFI
237 a bit more time to mature as this is a non-local change to the
standard.

Thanks,
