Publishing a Scheme project is always helpful. It is also useful to
publish a project in whatever programming language, that others might
use as inspiration for their own work. My goal is to make
contributions *more* easy, and in particular more portable across
Scheme implementations. That is in line with the scheme report goals.

This is not forbidden by the SRFI process to amend with PFN a SRFI, or
supersede with another SRFI. The problem I see with R7RS is there is
no standard test suite outside Chibi, which requires an advanced
implementation to make it run. The SRFI process has no dedicated
Scheme implementation officially, Chibi will not be the best choice
for the long term.

I agree.
