That's for the "small" language. I suspect we'd have better luck trying to influence the "large" Scheme first. > Probably (more likely?) they're more interested in stuff that has been > SRFI'ed.

Or at least separate out curly-infix, that one is tiny and probably the easiest to swallow. Strategically, it might be useful to focus on getting curly-infix into various places first, and then do the rest later. It might be better to pursue several routes for Scheme: (1) SRFIs, (2) standards, (3) embed in an implementation (e.g., guile). For each, we can see if proposing piecemeal is better. And all of that is just for Scheme (!). Thankfully, I don't think we need to "win everywhere". We just need to convince some, and then I have hope that others will start to turn. --- David A.
