Yes, but in Guile it behaves in a way that makes it useful for
constructing path strings, but when I checked the SRFI specification[0],
the behavior seems to be different from that of the SRFI specification.
(in-vicinity = string-append)

I wonder if this is a subtle specification, since Gauche, which
implements many SRFIs, did not have it either...

Thank you!
This is not a complaint about the documentation. I just wanted to know
how people as proficient in Guile as you guys learned Guile.
I am glad to know that I can learn by getting suggestions for better
code implementation through code reviews, etc.

But, I thought it would be a good idea to include functions like pk in
the documentation, since the efficiency of development depends on
knowing them.
