There is such a design in R6RS, but it had no prior art within Scheme itself, and the WG believed it was overkill for small Scheme. WG2 has not yet decided whether it will reappear in the large language, and if so, in what form. It is also unclear whether the library is the correct unit of versioning, or whether it is too fine-grained. Grant Rettke scripsit: > I think that what was once named Snow will be handing that duty? More precisely: Alex's proposed package system (which is outside the language itself), which has adopted the name "Snow" with Marc Feeley's permission.
