Actually that's not needed -- the only possibly ambiguous case is two
integers, and in that case it could go with the srfi-1 order.  (Which
would make it ugly, and I thought that diverging from srfi-1 on
improper lists is better, since racket already diverges on other
srfi-1 things.)

OK.  And since I'll probably do `take-while' etc very soon -- I'll go
with the (self-inconsistent) srfi-1 order.  Unless someone has an
objection to that?
