Hi,

In many projects I've been copying Göran Weinholt's base64 implementation
and I've also seen it in other projects, would it make sense to include it
in Guile's standard library?

I guess it's hard to know where to draw a line and different languages do
different things. I actually like Golang's approach where they provide a
bunch of base libraries (web, crypto, etc.) and it seems that's where Guile
was going by including a web library.You could always use a different
implementation if it existed.

Anyways, I think (ice-9 base64) would be a nice addition.

Just a thought.

Aleix
