Functions in libguile vs SRFIs

Functions in libguile vs SRFIs

[Stephen Compall]

On the functions now duplicated (some with slight enhancements)
between libguile and the SRFIs:

Are the ones in libguile (going to be) deprecated?  If not, are the
SRFI versions preferred?  If not, IMHO, they should be, for the sake
of modularity (not to mention standards).

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity.  They seem
more afraid of life than death.

On this note: is the guile team interested in getting documentation
patches which merge the doc of srfi's into the body of the doc? 

For example: the section on Compound-Types/Lists includes all the
srfi-1 functions.

I'd be happy to do the occasional documentation patch on this basis.

I'd expect they ought to remain separate while the functions are in a
separate module.  Hopefully good index entries will make it easy to
find the two places.

(Incomplete indexing is a pet peeve of mine, so sing out if anyone has
looked under some topic and wasn't taken to the desired place.)
