Mikael Djurfeldt is concerned about the suggested modifications to the
Scheme language in order to fullfill GNU extension language goals. I do
not think there is any cause for concern. It is clear that the changes are
not to The Scheme language, which is well defined in an IEEE standard and
Revised^4 Report, The language described in the RMS note may at best be
characterized as a derivative of Scheme, and i doubt it would be called
Scheme, any more than Dylan is called Scheme.
