In any case, I'm afraid I still don't understand what the problem is
here.
If someone wants the boot-9 list-index, and doesn't also need to use
srfi-1: no problem.
If someone wants the srfi-1 list-index, and doesn't also need the
boot-9 one, they just (use-modules (srfi srfi-1)) - no problem.
If someone wants to use both in the same program, they either give a
new name to the boot-9 one before doing (use-modules (srfi srfi-1)),
or they perform a renaming when doing (use-modules (srfi srfi-1)).
So what's the issue?
Regards,
Neil
