I'm totally aware that SRFI-7 is more general than SRFI-55, and could
(potentially) be implemented across all implementations. I do not (and
never did) claim the opposite. Yet, I find SRFI-7 suboptimal, for
various reasons I have already given (less typing (yes!), more
natural, more straightforward, more portable - across existing
implementations).

Unless you come up with something new, consider yourself ignored from
now on.
