 | to me, byte vectors are pretty useless if you don't have a minimal
 | amount of comfort for encoding/decoding data types.  And, given the
 | fact that you no longer support this comfort, is there sufficient
 | support to break down/ build up Scheme data types (integers,
 | float,…) into / from raw bytes ? I.e., can I convert an integer or
 | a float to a byte vector?

SLIB provides R4RS/R5RS Scheme code to accomplish these conversions in
a way which is unaffected by host byte-order.  See:
