I'm not sure I fully understand what `check-r6rs-library' does (and I don't have `(ice-9 accumulate)' also...). At any rate, one thing that is sure is that unfortunately, we don't have phase separation in Guile (unless Guile 1.4 significantly diverged from 1.[68] in that respect). Since this is one of the foundations of R6RS libraries, we'd have a hard time implementing them. My guess is that we'd better rewrite the interpreter altogether (in Scheme or a subset thereof) to have one more "manageable", amenable to deep changes like this...
