Well it doesn't specify how feature-identifiers can be added to the
run-time environment. Since different implementations have
idiosyncratic means of doing this I guess that it has just moved the
compatibility problem back a little bit.

OTOH, encouraging monolithic support of SRFIs is not necessarily A Bad
Thing (TM). As we had the discussion a few months ago - SRFIs are
*not* libraries - they are meant to be features of implementations.

Anyway, thanks for the point on feature-identifiers.
