@Huubje It is not seeing things clearly.

I think Chez Scheme should bite the bullet and have full R⁷RS compliance, like other R⁶RS Schemes have done. In fact, the only other R⁶RS Schemes I use are Loko and Sagittarius, and they both also do R⁷RS. Sagittarius does R⁷RS-large, in fact.

(UPDATE: And I think Loko more or less works with chez-srfi, which effectively gives you a lot of R⁷RS-large, only under the R⁶RS library names for the same libraries.)

@Huubje Oddly enough, it is Chibi Scheme I distrust most to do things correctly. Its (scheme list) is broken and I would use Olin Shivers’s reference implementation instead, with whatever little modifications needed. I do so in my (work in progress) ‘Pipchix’ package.
