Hi,

I'm not exactly sure what (uses) does, but I don't think you want this
line.  If you want these features you should just use


  (require-extension srfi-1 srfi-13 regex)

Note that utf8 already provides Unicode-aware regex functions.

Also, srfi-13 won't do the right thing with utf8 strings, it'll treat
them as byte strings.  If you're using utf8, you probably want

  (require-extension syntax-case tinyclos utf8 utf8-srfi-13)
  (import utf8)
  (import utf8-srfi-13)

which works fine for me.
