There used to be a library bundled with PLT that made it easier to use
slib.  The thing is that it wasn't maintained -- and something like
that really need constant maintenance since both PLT and SLIB keep
evolving, and in addition there are the usual problems with SLIB which
steps over `require'.

I have updated PLT's `sort' in svn to take two keyword arguments:
#:key can be used to specify a function to extract the key to compare,
and #:cache-keys? can be used in addition to that to say that the keys
should be cached (which means that the accessor function is called
exactly once on each item in the list, as in srfi-95).
