Yes.

Looking for simple "convenience function" precedents in R5RS, the only
ones which come to mind are NEWLINE and REMAINDER.  NEWLINE was a poor
idea, as it removed motivation for specifying a method to code
newlines in literal string constants.  REMAINDER needs only -, *, and
QUOTIENT.

(inexact->exact (truncate x)) is shorter than
call-with-current-continuation, so I will pass on adding them to
SRFI-70.
