This procedure is not exported from (system foreign), but from (guile).

No, but programs (R6RS and otherwise) start with all bindings from
(guile) in their environment.  (Is this a good thing or a bad thing?  I
don't know.  This may change at some point for R6RS, for what it's
worth.  But anyway, here it's as if you have already done an (import
(guile)).

Happy hacking,

Andy
