Guile's current behaviour does interfere with trying to package srfi 99.
According to http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-99/srfi-99.html
All implementations of SRFI 99 must provide the following libraries:
(srfi :99) ; alias for (srfi :99 records)
(srfi :99 records) ; composite of the next three
(srfi :99 records procedural)
(srfi :99 records inspection)
(srfi :99 records syntactic)
Currently, guile's behaviour, AIUI, is to just drop the part after the
(srfi :99), which would mean you couldn't just import the last
three. Supporting srfi 99 in its fullness will still require a change in
Guile.
