Thank you, it's clear I failed to search properly in the SRFI body (I searched rather cursorily for 'raw strings'). Both the paired-delimiters and the user-defined delimiter styles are described in SRFI-109, so my proposal seems entirely redundant... I also see there's extensive discussion in the mail archive.

The only remark I have is that SRFI-109 is not a simple SRFI, so there may be some value in providing just those basic features in a way that is compatible with SRFI-109.
