This is used for compatibility libraries, for instance:
% ls spells/filesys/
compat.guile.sls compat.larceny.sls compat.mzscheme.sls
compat.ikarus.sls compat.mosh.sls compat.ypsilon.sls
Only guile will have .guile.sls in its %load-extensions, so it will find
the correct library, in this case corresponding to the library name
`(spells filesys compat)'.
Other R6RS implementations, if the adhere to this convention, will only
consider "their" specific file, as they'd only look for
spells/filesys/compat.sls and
spells/filesys/compat.<IMPLEMENTATION>.sls. If there's a portable
implementation of that library, it will be under
spells/filesys/compat.sls, and be used (only) if there's no
implementation-specific file. So it's important that the ".guile.sls"
extension is considered *before* ".sls".
For performance reasons, it *might* make sense to not enable this
behavior by default, but provide a command-line switch; however,
enabling this behavior is *already* possible using command-line switches
("-x .guile.sls -x .sls"), so I don't know...
