This looks good to me.

Use @unnumberedsubsubsec instead and no menu. Capitalize like this:
“SRFI-9 Custom Printers”.

Rather use @deffn{Scheme Syntax}, which seems to be the most commonly
used form in the manual.

No need for ``quotes'' here.

I’d rather call it ‘set-record-type-printer!’ (it prints records, but
it’s the printer of the record type). What do you think?
You could add a docstring here.
And don’t forget to add srfi-9/gnu.scm to ‘SRFI_SOURCES’ in
modules/Makefile.am.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
