 Hmmm?

You're right that we would need to support both the R5RS primitives
and the more generous primitives if we wanted to keep the extra
support.

However, I don't think multiple parameters of eq? and friends is
sufficiently useful to motivate extra support for it.

I suggest you just remove this extra functionality.

Yep, please change them to be R5RS compliant, but leave the current
code in there (commented out).  We might want to reactivate it when
we can select to be pure R5RS.
