In essence.  There may be some places where R7RS-small says MAY or
SHOULD and we think that R7RS-large should say MUST (see the pages
ImplementationsMay and ImplementationsShould).  In addition, there may be
a few things like `hex-digit-value` that are too trivial to be a SRFI,
or something like implicit vs. explicit phasing that doesn't fit the
SRFI model.

In addition, some SRFIs may themselves be MUSTs (I'm going to propose
that comparators be required, because the library is small but the reuse
value in other libraries is large), whereas the rest are SHOULDs.
