True for R5RS Scheme. But for Chicken in particular, the "units" are de facto a standard library, since the compiler relies on much of them. Right now all the eggs are effectively second-class as a consequence of the way they are packaged, but some of them, like syntax-case and numbers, are actually necessary to get R5RS support, so it's kind of arbitrary. I'd rather see units and eggs treated as on a par, and the distinction drawn between community-supported, author-supported, and unsupported packages. -- Is a chair finely made tragic or comic?
