I would not do that - this leads just to API bloat, which we already have enough
of. Chicken's behaviour of parameters is AFAICT srfi-conformant. It also is
relatively low-level so that I don't like to mess with it.
Furthermore, I can't remember
having heard any complaints about the current behaviour until now.
That there are
several different ways of implementing this is true, and none could be
considered
the "true" way (as can also be seen by reading the (lively)
discussions that took place
on the SRFI-39 mailing list).
