Hi!
Your code looks good to me. I haven't examined it in detail, but
the overall impression is fine. Also, the unit-tests seem to be similar
to what I've seen in other code by more experienced Schemers.
Note that you compile your program but load additional files via
"load-relative". This technically works, but if you want all code to
be compiled, I recommend to use "include" instead: that way,
the parts are inserted into your main program and fully compiled,
which is of course more efficient and also makes it easier to
move the compiled program around or call it from a different
location.

The egg sources are usually good examples for how to structure
libraries. Some of these have example programs that you might
want to study. Also, you can look at
http://wiki.call-cc.org/Software
which lists a couple of larger projects that use CHICKEN.
