Localization mechanisms in my version are now parameterizable via
unit/sig (which has increased the footprint).

There's still some optimizations I want to make before selectively
merging my changes back into the reference implementation and
PLT's/Schematics' fork.  Maybe I will try to sneak a couple small
primitives into MzScheme that do 90% of what I use SRFI-19 for...

| This is a PLT-specific fork of Will Fitzgerald's SRFI-19 reference

|
|   * Interoperate with the PLT standard date type. All procedures can
|     operate on the PLT date type. A subtype of date, srfi19-date has been
|     created for adding nanoseconds to the representation. The only
|     incompatibility with SRFI-19 is that the SRFI-19 make-date procedure
|     is called make-srfi19-date, due to a name conflict with PLT's
|     make-date.
|   * Various efficiency optimizations, such as removing extraneous uses of
|     string ports.
|   * Parameterize for use with various localization mechanisms. A
|     srfi19-locale^ signature and a dummy-locale@ unit are provided.
|   * Substitute syntax from other SRFIs with PLT builtins.
|   * Added procedures for use with PLT seconds.
|   * Documentation in a format used by the PLT Help Desk.
|
| This is an ongoing exercise. Eventually the worthwhile portable and
| PLT-specific changes will be extracted for use with the SRFI-19 reference
| implementation and the one bundled with PLT.
