True for R5RS Scheme. But for Chicken in particular, the "units" are
de facto a standard library, since the compiler relies on much of them.
Right now all the eggs are effectively second-class as a consequence of
the way they are packaged, but some of them, like syntax-case and numbers,
are actually necessary to get R5RS support, so it's kind of arbitrary.
I'd rather see units and eggs treated as on a par, and the distinction
drawn between community-supported, author-supported, and unsupported
packages.
