 I'm running chicken from the experimental branch on OpenBSD 4.8.

 I'm using the time-related routines in srfi-18.

 The following program:

 {{{
 $ csi
 #;1> (use srfi-18)
 ; loading library srfi-18 ...
 #;2> (time->seconds (seconds->time 2))
 2000000.0
 }}}

 I would expect the output of the conversion to be symmetrical, where if I
 give (seconds->time) a 2, converting the time back to seconds using
 (time->seconds) should return 2.  (probably 2.0)  Instead this call is
 returning the microseconds.

 I would love to see srfi-18 extended to have a (time->microseconds) and
 (microseconds->time) procedures, as I love having time resolution at this
 scale.  This could also, of course, be fixed by scaling the real number
 returned from these routines.
