Why?  These may be "cool" ideas, but they are not widely used and they have not
even gone through the SRFI process.  This is too close to language design.
These APIs are experimental ideas.  They have not been used widely enough to
justify arguing that they are mature enough for standardization.

The big problem that many of us had with R6RS were the pieces where certain
editors forced their own favorite "cool" but experimental ideas into the
standard.

Is WG2 supposed to be a standardization effort or is WG2 supposed to
include experimental stuff?
