As I was sitting there when Olin made this suggestion to Will, I'm
pretty sure it was made in jest (and Taylor's comments seem inline with
that sentiment).
But if folks are seriously disturbed by the `(srfi N ...)' convention, I
am willing to hear out alternatives. This SRFI is of little use if each
R6RS implementor will go on to support some other naming convention. So
far, only Aziz has registered a dissenting opinion. If some other
reasonable convention can be agreed upon, I'm happy to oblige.
