Generally, I hear complaints about loading speed, slightly wild allegations
about past authors and random Scheme-hate.  From Schemers, I hear claims
about the superiority of their implementation.  It would be nice if they
could just implement the guile API and have done with it, but maybe that's
not practical.  Then could we have one set of library interfaces for many
schemes?  Maybe, maybe not.  Actually, that's no so much of a problem, but
we need more SRFIs.
