Your patches look good to me, except that we can't change 'length+' as
you propose. Instead I'd like to add a lax variant of 'length+' with a
different name, and use that.
I can take care of doing this myself, and will of course still credit
you in whatever manner you prefer, but I've run into a legal problem: we
don't currently have copyright papers for you on file. Are you willing
to file copyright papers for GUILE?
