Tough call. We just _can't_ offer a SRFI-1 that doesn't work like the
SRFI document says. That would be silly. It's also impossible to fix
this in a backwards compatible way.
The SRFI must win, so we have to break backwards compatability.
Kevin, please make the change in 1.6 as well and put a nice big note
at the top of NEWS.
