Well, given a file (which you only have to write once) containing
-----------8<---------------
(use-modules (ice-9 r5rs))
(use-syntax (ice-9 syntax))
-----------8<---------------
you can run Guile as "guile -l <above file> ..." to get an R5RS 
interpreter.  (Subject to the following remaining bugs, of course.)

Yes, I see.  But 1.8 will indeed be better; the current CVS only has 
problems with
- 1.1 - for which I have a candidate fix
- 8.3 - which the comment in r5rs_pitfall.scm suggests is debatable
- the final map/call/cc test, where Guile gives "not call/cc safe, but 
probably tail recursive and efficient", and which the comment suggests 
is acceptable.
