I have some trouble scaling Robby's solution. It works fine
in the small, but it gets annoying when the number of
signatures grows. For one it is difficult to see what
is going on, if you don't have all the signatures in
one file (I had placed them together with their
implementations).

I have attached two files. The first signatures.scm
is how I wished I could write, and the other how
Robby's solution look like - that is if I got it
right. That is there is still
a clash in deque^ since +list^ and +queue^ shares
the name remove-first.

Oh - it appears as though define-signature throws
line and column numbers away, the syntax checker
doesn't show where the error is.

One more thing. It would be convenient to
allow omission in the open clause the same
way you can in struct clauses. E.g.

  (open double-ended-sequence^ (- remove-last))

Hm. I forgot to add random access lists as well.
