Actually, my own, non-root, account has the ordering that you mentioned.
I'm afraid to tinker with root's path ordering, so I'm leaving it as is.
Apparently I installed Guile 1.3 in January or February as a general good
idea and renaming 1.3 hasn't hurt me so far. Using Guile as a shell,
given that it will be made more consistent and not so dependent on
whitespace placement, etc., seems an excellent idea to me.
I studied SICP using Scheme and miss its continuations in SML97 and
Haskell98. I'll be following this list with interest now.
