IMHO, a library name fundamentally specifies an API.
(import (scheme ...)) and (import (rnrs ...)) are stuff that is
API-compatible with the Scheme reports. (import (srfi ...)) is similar.
(import (guile ...)) and (import (chibi ...)) would import stuff where
the Guile and Chibi communities, respectively, are responsible for the
API. Even when other Scheme implementations provide a library by that name.
I have more to say about this, but since this thread is massive as it
is, I'll leave that for later.
