And, not to reopen old wounds or restart old fights --- 

RnRS is plainly wrong on (eq? #f '()) ....  that's the biggest
obstacle.

Indeed, after resuming hacking emacs lisp in recent history, I'm
starting to think that the old CL bit of:

        (car nil) => nil
        (cdr nil) => nil

is also not a bad idea.   "Protective errors" are often wrong.
