This is IMO a terrific part of version handling in R6 modules. What
will it mean for a 2009 program to import `(rnrs base)' when R27RS is
released?
This was discussed and questioned back then:
http://lists.r6rs.org/pipermail/r6rs-discuss/2007-May/002332.html .
I think such issues should lead us to have a `:version' option that does
just what's needed for R6RS, and does not try to do anything smart
(which could seem to be non-deterministic). We could even go as far as
discouraging its use in the manual.
Thanks,
Ludo'.
