Since it appears there are no primitives to do this I have ported
the mzscheme procedures. The API definitions seem fine to me, and
the implementation is good with regards to size and type checks.
The intial guile version is packaged as a dynamically loaded module,
however I would like to submit this work for consideration for
inclusion in the guile distribution since it seems to me a useful
set of primitives*. Is this list the correct place to submit
contributions?
Thanks,
Rohan
