In all fairness, it's somewhat split.  Gauche, Guile and Kawa all use
the Common-Lisp names.  Bigloo, Chez, and MIT Scheme all use their own
prefixes.

In such a mixed state we should probably choose the names on their own
merit and readability.  I don't think we should provide any aliases
within the SRFI itself.

Personally, I strongly prefer the SRFI-33 names.
