My understanding of Alex's point was that portability has advantages.  I
certainly benefit from using Alex's code, for example, although Alex
mostly uses other Scheme implementations.

Differing from the Scheme standard is totally OK, but it discourages
code sharing among Scheme systems.  A trade-off, that's all.

Nobody is arguing this :)
