Aubrey Jaffer:

	[MIT Scheme example as authority elided]

   So is it an "obsolete, broken old implementation"?

probably not. on the other hand, none of its authors [so far as i know]
claim that MIT Scheme is designed to be compliant with any past or present 
Scheme standard or compatible with any other implementation. [Bill J. Rozas
put this more forcefully once, but i cannot locate his note.]
