Thank you, Peter!
In my opinion, now there're two main barriers to apply your work:
1. Is this legal, that SRFI-261 names those unnamed SRFIs? Maybe
editors could help this problem?
2. We need to discuss the criteria for naming SRFI item by item. I will
continue to ask everyone on the email list to discuss this job in
the next few weeks. After discussing one item, we can discuss the
next one. I will push forward the progress according to my
understanding of the urgency of each condition. Don't let anyone
fantasize about passing by, LoL. Every point I ask everyone to
discuss, unless there is a solid consensus, then let's keep going.
Discovering that this matter is becoming increasingly fun,

I like the idea of importing SRFIs by name. It's easier to read (srfi
lists-1) (or (srfi 1 lists) or whatever alternative named syntax is
adopted) than (srfi 1).
I think that every SRFI (even withdrawn) should have an identifier.
Withdrawn SRFIs are used by some implementations (CHICKEN uses SRFI-12
for instance).
The identifiers can also be used for more than just libraries. SRFIs
with only reader syntax can use an identifier to activate the reader
syntax with syntax similar to the proposed #!srfi-nnn. For example,
#!srfi-30 could also be #!srfi-external-form-30. The identifiers can
also be used in cond-expand or in (features).
I quickly went through the SRFI list and gave identifiers to SRFIs
that did not have one listed. I left the draft SRFIs empty. I welcome
better suggestions for names.
