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.
