Well, I guess the conventions for system stuff are described at the
start of the posix interface chapter in the manual.  I think ! is just
meant for changes to scheme level data, not system things.

But actually it was the procedure-with-setter I was more concerned
about, being almost never used in the core, and in fact a rather
controversial concept, as I understand it.
