We're going around in circles: Al is suggesting attaching variant

But the deeper issue is still the same: If the SRFI number doesn't
mean anything to you, include the title with it.

What good are portable-across-implementation names if the module
system you're using them in isn't portable?  Once again, if you want
to "standardize" names, write up a document.  (As suggested in a part
of my email you deleted.)
