 Priority:  major                       |   Milestone:       
Component:  core libraries              |     Version:  4.7.x
 Keywords:  srfi-13, string comparison  |  
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 CHICKEN procedures from the srfi-13 unit for string comparison return
 integers, while SRFI-13 (and the wiki documentation for SRFI-13) state
 that they return booleans.

 The following SRFI-13 procedures (and their case-insensitive counterparts)
 return integers in chicken:

   * string=
   * string<>
   * string<=
   * string<
   * string>=
   * string>

 I'm not sure if the behavior of these procedures in CHICKEN deviate from
 SRFI-13's by design or if it is really a bug.

 If that's the intended behavior, we have to fix the documentation and add
 a note about that deviation.
