Entities/organizations can claim a top-level library namespace to avoid
library name clashes, e.g. I've claimed (xitomatl ---), and users can
use R6RS's import excluding and/or renaming facilities to deal with
identifier conflicts.  E.g.:

        (import
          (prefix (xitomatl match) x:)
          (prefix (Phil-Bewig match) pb:))
        (x:match ---)
        (pb:match ---)
