It looks like the license terms would indeed allow us to do that. I'm
not sure whether there's a precedent including non-LGPL SRFI code as is,
though.
Besides, we'd have to check whether the reference implementation, which
targets Gambit's compiler, is suitable for Guile.
Thoughts?

Yes, it also stroke me as a worthy goal at first, but the differences
you listed led me to think we might be better off with a separate
implementation.
Thanks, and sorry for the hassle!
Ludovic.
