Hi y’all,

So there exist two SRFIs for named SRFI references (i.e.
(srfi 95 sort-and-merging) instead of (srfi 95):) 97 and 261.

https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-97/srfi-97.html
https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-261/srfi-261.html

These are useful, but there’s one significant problem with both of
these: the lists of names are embedded into the SRFI document and not a
metadata file. So both of SRFIs are essentially frozen and cannot index
SRFIs that come after them. Well, if I get it right?

So, for future efforts, if there are any, one should have the listing of
names in a file that isn’t finalizable and can be extended in
perpetuity. Something like an already existing
srfi-common/admin/srfi-data.scm

Dunno why I really am writing this. I guess because this is an actual
problem with these. I have no solution putting names into a separate
file.

Best of luck,
