I have a small question of style. When you look up a function in the
middle of the srfi,
you will see a typical entry like as the one below, and then a newcomer
(or an forgetful old timer) have to look up * and %.

        Dictionaries

/  procedure:/ *dict?* value *=>* boolean

    Returns a non-false value if the provided value is a flexible sequence

/  procedure:/ *%* [equivalence-function] (key . value) ... *=> **

    Constructs a % dictionary with the zero or more bindings provided as
    it's initial values.
    If provided, the keys will be compared with the given equivalence
    function, otherwise eqv?
    is used. Each operand after the equivalence function to a dictionary
    constructor must be a
    Scheme pair.

/  procedure:/ **-keys->list* dictionary *=>* list

Wouldn't it be easier to read if it was

  <collection-name>, <dictionary-name> etc

instead?

What do the other meta srfis do?
