I know. I note this in the Issues section, stating:
"At the same time it is hoped that a future SRFI will specify a
mechanism which will allow a portable and efficient implementation of
collections to exist."
I hope you'll agree that it is ultimately an implementation issue to get
the dispatch right, but its not that difficult since it is a very simple
form of dispatch. Bugs will exist in implementations of anything, they
can be fixed.
