In a lot of these cases, that's because our libraries simply re-export
bindings from Guile's core library or an SRFI.  Instead of changing
the error-signaling of the original procedures, we could wrap them a
bit more in the relevant libraries to add argument validation, say, or
to re-throw Guile's core errors as R6RS exceptions.
